Dingo Dollar (7/2), Baden (7/2), Joe Farrell (5/1), Abbreviate (5/1), Cosmos Des Obeaux (5/1), Holbrook Park (9/1), Dadsintrouble (12/1)

Nicky Henderson took this contest last year and his COSMOS DES OBEAUX can score on chase debut for the yard this time around. The selection showed a good level of ability in France and can step up on his UK debut earlier this year by taking this competitive contest. Dingo Dollar has form over further and was running well prior to falling last time out and he can claim second today ahead of Baden a stablemate of the selection show showed promise on chase debut last time out.
