Masaccio (1/6), Gentle Slopes (11/8), Lilting Verse (9/2), Thunder N Lightnin (5/1), Defi Nonantais (6/1), Just One Surf (15/2), Tough Approach (22/1), There's Claude (22/1), Dance To Fame (40/1), Pescatorius (50/1), Lunar Ocean (100/1), Tiger Blade (100/1), Time To Smile (125/1)
MASACCIO has some solid form and, having been spared a hard race once held in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury, he's fancied to resume winning ways now returned to calmer waters. Gentle Slopes remains totally unexposed for Nicky Henderson and ought to prove equally as effective over this longer trip, with Thunder N Lightnin in the running for minor honours.
