Countister (4/6), Clondaw Castle (5/2), De Rasher Counter (8/1), Tayzar (12/1), Speed Company (12/1), Desert Cross (33/1), Djarkevi (40/1), Toosey (50/1), Genres (66/1), Frozon (100/1)
Clondaw Castle looks to have a bright future and he should be thereabouts once again here despite conceding weight, though he may find the task of giving 13lb to COUNTISTER beyond him. Nicky Henderson's mare made an encouraging debut over hurdles behind Cap Soleil at Newbury and that should have her spot on this time. Tayzar is interesting in opposition, while Speed Company is another probable danger.
