Black Corton (9/4), Fountains Windfall (3/1), Sir Ivan (7/2), Wait For Me (4/1), Elegant Escape (7/1)
BLACK CORTON can defy a penalty to take this novice chase and in the process register his seventh victory over fences. Paul Nicholls charge saw off a couple of useful rivals when winning at Cheltenham last time out and can get the better of Fountains Windfall who mad eh best possible start to his chasing career when winning last time out while Sir Ivan, a winner twice over fences this year can finish third on this occasion.
- Black Corton
- Fountains Windfall
