Saint Dalina (4/1), Theme Tune (4/1), Huntsmans Jog (9/2), Steal A March (6/1), I'd Better Go Now (8/1), Ask Henry (9/1), Hot Ryan (10/1), Milvale (12/1), Solstice Star (22/1), The Eaglehaslanded (22/1), Tight Call (25/1), Diamond Fort (28/1)

THEME TUNE wasn't all that fluent at Carlisle but still came out on top and likely has plenty more to offer as his jumping improves. This sterner test will suit him and he can get the hat-trick up on his handicap debut. Saint Dalina is a solid alternative, while Steal A March retains potential for Nicky Henderson.
