Will Carver (5/6), Gordon's Jet (5/2), Now Where Or When (5/1), Soivegotachance (9/1), Petite Rhapsody (16/1)

There's little to separate the 3 previous winners in this line-up but WILL CARVER was quite impressive at Kempton so he gets the nod to make the long journey from Lambourn worthwhile. Gordon's Jet should be suited by 2½m and can give Nicky Henderson's charge most to do.
