Lough Har (6/5), Arthur's Sixpence (6/4), Chanceanotherfive (13/2), Sporting Press (12/1), Skilled (40/1)

The second wind operation for ARTHUR'S SIXPENCE looks to have done the trick after his game win at Uttoxeter where despite the narrow margin of victory he appeared to win with a bit in hand. His jumping was much better this time around and a 4lb rise was more than fair to keep him at the right end of the handicap. Main danger Lough Har will have to jump better this time around but should have an event like this in him having shaped well on his chase debut earlier in the year. Chanceanotherfive might not have the scope of those two main players but he has won when fresh before and more chasing experience than the main duo that may stand him in good stead.
