A Plus Tard (5/4), Conflated (2/1), Galvin (10/3), Kemboy (18/5), Fury Road (7/1), French Dynamite (15/2), Franco De Port (16/1), Royal Rendezvous (20/1)

The top-class A PLUS TARD clearly wasn't himself in the Betfair Chase on his first start since the Gold Cup but he's well worth another chance to get his season back on track given how dominant he was at Cheltenham. Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand, with Conflated and Galvin feared most.
