A few with chances but CHTI BALKO spreadeagled his field at Haydock last month so is hard to side against raised just 6 lb for that victory with the Donald McCain team in great nick too. Nordican Bleue is fancied to build on her encouraging return at Fakenham and still has few miles on the clock so is feared most with Breffniboy not taken lightly either in his bid for a five-timer.
