Geordie Des Champs (7/2), Some Chaos (9/2), Indy Five (11/2), Dancing Shadow (15/2), Sir Ivan (8/1), Potters Corner (8/1), Double Shuffle (11/1), Vivas (12/1), Vieux Lion Rouge (12/1), Soupy Soups (12/1), Asockastar (20/1)

A case can be made for a few of these veterans, but GEORDIE DES CHAMPS comes here on the back of two Ffos Las hurdling wins so gets the vote off a reduced chasing mark. Charlie Longsdon has his string in good nick so Vivas is feared most if his jumping holds up, while 2019 winner Vieux Lion Rouge can't be discounted either.
