Better Getalong (2/11), Graystown (5/1), Le Frank (10/1), Le Gavroche (33/1), Off The Hook (50/1), Read'em And Weep (100/1), Up Helly Aa King (100/1)

BETTER GETALONG is going to prove a very tough nut to crack having finished third in a Cheltenham Grade 2 event last time out. This is much easier, so despite a penalty he is a confidfent choise. Graystown is the one most likely to keep him honest and should make a race it, while Le Frank and Le Gavroche are open to improvement and may be in the reckoning for a place.
