Weightfordave (4/6), Leapt (3/1), Riviere Argentee (9/1), Duc Kauto (10/1), Crumpledandcreased (10/1), Mont Royal (20/1), Lucky Robin (33/1), Fifty Peach Way (50/1), Murchison River (66/1)

The wait has been a long one, but it could well be 28th time lucky for Weightfordave on what will be a second start for Dan Skelton. This trainer excels with such tricky customers during the summer months and this new recruit should be capable of winning such a race now that he's apparently clean winded. However, there are alternatives which include the Catterick Flat specialist Riviere Argentee on debut for Robin Dickin, and the more speculative pick MONT ROYAL. Ollie Pears isn't known for his National Hunt winners (last jumps winner in the 2011/12 season; only two runners since 2015/16), but the booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye.
