Heltenham (13/8), How's The Cricket (2/1), Oneupmanship (9/2), Icone D'aubrelle (11/1), Valirann Gold (12/1), Pageant Material (16/1), Whydah Gally (22/1), Hidor De Bersy (25/1)

Dan Skelton's HELTENHAM has progressed by the run since sent chasing and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up his Newcastle victory. How's The Cricket also arrives on the up and is next on the list ahead of Hidor de Bersy.
