A difficult contest to end proceedings with OSCAR CEREMONY a tentative selection. He won well at Kelso before getting stuck in the mud there last time altough he still ran well, and back under these conditions, he can get involved. Brigadier Bob brings the best recent form to the table, having winning 2/4 chase starts, including over C&D whilst Arthur's Reuben likes it here and showed a little more at Southwell last time. He will be plugging on when others have cried enough.
