Beat That (4/1), Carole's Destrier (9/2), Henri Parry Morgan (11/2), Double Ross (7/1), Kings Lad (8/1), On Tour (8/1), Theatre Guide (9/1), Exitas (16/1), Bishops Road (16/1), Bob Ford (16/1), Alvarado (16/1), Uhlan Bute (33/1), Court Frontier (50/1)

A well contested veterans handicap chase and a chance for last year's winner BOB FORD to repeat the feat off a 4lb higher mark. He goes very well first time out. On Tour is another who tends to run well after a break and won't be far away, and it's a similar tale for the 2016 winner Double Ross. Beat That is interesting but this is tougher than his recent successes, while Carole's Destrier, King's Lad and Bishops Road are all capable if in the mood.
