Nineohtwooneoh (2/1), Oxwich Bay (16/5), Short Flight (7/1), Glengar (9/1), The Last Bar (12/1), Elle Est Grande (14/1), Zen Master (14/1), Tazka (18/1), Torquay (22/1), King Gypsy (25/1), First Man (66/1), Major Davis (66/1)

An inauspicious return for jumping in GB with only three of these having jumped fences under Rules and very few, if any, have a sound profile. Of those with chasing experience Oxwich Bay would be the best but his jumping is a worry and he’s had more than enough chances in this sphere. Nineohtwooneoh has a least won a race and despite fears about his quirks/demeanour he has to go on the shortlist making his chasing debut. It’s interesting that Dan Skelton has kept the faith with The Last Bar, she returns after 801 days off with the handicapper giving her a real chance. ELLE EST GRANDE is a very tentative suggestion off her lenient mark and her pedigree suggests she will be a better chaser.
