Broadway Boy (11/8), Easy As That (7/2), City Chief (11/2), Malina Girl (7/1), Threeunderthrufive (15/2), Protektorat (16/1), Back On The Lash (25/1), Elvis Mail (28/1), Rapper (66/1)

A cracking staying chase in which cases can be made for plenty. However, preference is for THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE, who pulled clear with a progressive sort on return in the Badger Beer at Wincanton 5 weeks ago and Paul Nicholls' charge can register his fifth success over the larger obstacles. Broadway Boy made it 2-3 in this sphere when bolting up here last month, so he looks a serious threat on handicap debut, with Easy As That and City Chief also fancied to feature.
