Minella Indo (13/8), Kemboy (11/4), Melon (7/2), Delta Work (5/1), The Storyteller (20/1)
MINELLA INDO was one of last season's best staying novice chasers (runner-up to Champ in RSA) and, having landed a pair of small field contests upon returning, was undone by a rare jumping error when falling in the Savills Chase last time. He's well worth another chance on balance and gets the nod to get back on track. Delta Work and Kemboy, 1-2 in this last year, can also play their part.
