Hiddenvalley Lake (3/1), Beacon Edge (16/5), Blazing Khal (4/1), Ashdale Bob (11/2), Da Capo Glory (6/1), Sire Du Berlais (12/1), Galvin (25/1), Delta Work (33/1)

BLAZING KHAL wasn't disgraced in the Stayers' Hurdle when last seen and can make a winning return in this race for the second year running. Old rival Sire du Berlais, who beat the selection at Cheltenham, may need the run but he's still the obvious danger, while Ashdale Bob can't be dismissed.
