Christmas In Usa (9/4), Millie The Minx (11/4), Sweet Marmalade (10/3), Oceanus (11/2), Little Pippin (14/1), First Of Never (22/1), Jo Cashflow (33/1), Fast And Friendly (50/1)

A modest opener in which the shortlist is exactly that, a very short list. On the bare figures the dual C&D winner Millie The Minx needs to show additional improvement in order to make a winning return to obstacles (raced on the Flat during the summer) but in reality against this standard of opponent that probably isn't the case. However, she can be taken on with the top-weight CHRISTMAS IN USA. Nick Alexander's seven-year-old weakened at the business end of the race behind a heavily supported winner on his seasonal reappearance at Kelso, but promises to be much stronger for the benefit of that run.
