Erick Le Rouge (9/2), Imperial Presence (5/1), Highway One O One (5/1), Princeton Royale (6/1), Azzerti (13/2), Mellow Ben (7/1), Cobra De Mai (7/1), Drumcliff (10/1), Aintree My Dream (11/1), Romain De Senam (14/1)

It could be worth chancing COBRA DE MAI, who ended last season with a respectable sixth in the Ultima Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and returns in much calmer waters off the same mark. Imperial Presence looked better than ever when winning at Stratford so is respected, while Erick Le Rouge is low mileage over fences and is back down in class.
