Pont Aval (13/8), Choice Of Words (2/1), Time To Rocco (4/1), Nell's Well (6/1), Happy D'ex (7/1), Red As Rust (18/1), Six Feet Apart (25/1), Diamondinthemud (33/1), Walking Fame (100/1), Mansoline (100/1), Big Ears (150/1)

PONT AVAL and Happy d'Ex have achieved similar form over the larger obstacles so far and with the latter prone to mistakes, it may pay to side with the Mullins mare. Of the rest, Choice of Words fell on chase debut but much better can be expected this time.
