Petite Ganache (3/1), Speedy Cargo (5/1), J'Ai Froid (5/1), Kalaharry (11/2), Sunny Destination (6/1), Silk Or Scarlet (7/1), Loch Linnhe (15/2), Champagne Chaser (10/1), Misfits (12/1), Another Mattie (14/1), Top Billing (14/1), Madam Cloud (14/1), Donnas Dream (20/1), Skyhill (33/1), Overtheedge (50/1)

An interesting handicap hurdle. Speedy Cargo should give a good account under topweight, while Champagne Chaser is unlikely to have been sent all this way for the travel experience, so he may be capable of returning to better form. Kalaharry and Sunny Destination are both of interest, while recent course winner Petite Ganache and the handicap debutante Madam Cloud are very much respected. However, the suggestion is SILK OR SCARLET, who can make the step up to 3m a successful one.
