Volcanic (5/2), Luckime (5/2), Skipthescales (7/2), Letemgo (11/2), General Mahler (10/1), Geronimo (14/1), Royal Salute (33/1), Native Optimist (33/1)

Letemgo is thriving but his bid for the four-timer may have been foiled by the handicapper before it gets underway. Luckime is respected on handicap bow for a yard going well, but he'll surely have to step up on the bare form of his Catterick win to go in again. Geronimo should find this longer trip to his advantage and can get involved but GENERAL MAHLER is potentially on a decent mark. He's been going well enough over hurdles and if the wind operation sharpens him, he's got every chance back over timber.
