Oliver's Island (5/2), Just Jess (7/2), My Strong Man (7/2), Monticello (7/1), Storm Force One (15/2), Kildrum (8/1), Sir Jim (10/1), Kilganer Queen (11/1), Punta Prima (12/1), Ribeye (14/1), Howzat Hiris (18/1), Tartan Cookie (28/1), Sight Nor Seen (80/1)

In a contest where few arrive with solid claims JUST JESS is given a chance to build on a good third at Newcastle last time. Kildrum could be a threat if he can translate his recent good chase form back to the smaller obstacles. Veteran mare Kilganer Queen is also on the shortlist, while Oliver's Island would also enter the reckoning if showing up here rather than at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve.
