Ballymalin (2/1), Petite Power (8/1), Kings Eclipse (8/1), Chic Name (17/2), Boric (9/1), As De Pique (9/1), Onderun (11/1), Lowanbehold (14/1), Itstimeforapint (20/1), Lac Sacre (25/1), Harry The Viking (25/1), Milborough (25/1)

Stamina will be to the fore here and with the Nigel Twiston-Davies team having a good Perth Festival his Ballymallin already placed in a Midland National has to be respected. Last year’s winner Boric has a tougher task at the weights this time with others that need a test of stamina like Lowandbehold and Petite Power also of interest. A light weight and the booking of Brian Hughes make KINGS ECLIPSE the one to side with though despite being inexperienced over fences he still looks as though he can progress and this trip should certainly suit.
