Eritage (11/8), Molineaux (11/2), Caid Du Lin (11/2), Admiral's Secret (17/2), Generous Day (9/1), Litterale Ci (10/1), Hatcher (11/1), Baby King (33/1)

This can go to ERITAGE, who was a somewhat fortunate winner on his chasing debut/return over this C&D in October but backed that up with a solid second at Newbury 19 days ago. He remains open to further progress and can get the better of Harry Fry's Litterale Ci, while Caid du Lin certainly isn't ruled out now 2 lb below the mark from which he won this off last year.
