Elusive Belle (5/4), French Crusader (9/4), Eddiemaurice (5/1), American Gigolo (6/1), Golden Taipan (7/1), Chance A Tune (8/1), Ferrobin (11/1), Miranda (12/1), Brandon Castle (12/1), Beltor (20/1), Vlannon (40/1), Linger (40/1)

A trappy-looking contest to end proceedings, preference is for the relatively unexposed FRENCH CRUSADER, who was last seen finishing behind yesterday's impressive Christmas Hurdle winner Epatante. That form sets a considerable standard and he may be the pattern-race horse racing in a handicap. Elusive Belle was one place back in third in that respectable race and should give another bold account of herself with a mares allowance, while Chance A Tune and Golden Taipan remain incredibly unexposed and are weighted on nice handicap marks.
