Two For Gold (10/3), Double Shuffle (4/1), Coo Star Sivola (9/2), Rocco (6/1), Commodore (6/1), Slate House (8/1), Glen Forsa (10/1), West Approach (12/1), Guitar Pete (16/1), King Of Realms (18/1), Minellacelebration (20/1), Almazhar Garde (20/1), Ami Desbois (22/1), Beau Bay (28/1), Saint Xavier (40/1)

Now 5 lb lower than when scoring at the 2018 Cheltenham Festival, COO STAR SIVOLA may be worth siding with in this open-looking race. He didn't get very far in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time, but this 9-y-o is generally a sound jumper and his reappearance effort was encouraging. Two For Gold may still have more to offer and is second choice ahead of Guitar Pete and Commodore.
