Mount Frisco (11/4), Junot (4/1), Itwasfate (5/1), Dundaniel (15/2), Dutch Schultz (8/1), Chainofconsequence (9/1), Mick Charlie (10/1), Cosmic Rock (12/1), Invictus Machin (16/1), Mc Alpine (66/1)

A competitive novices' handicap chase with the narrow vote in favour of 5-y-o MOUNT FRISCO. He's really got his act together of late, lining up here on the back of a career-best display over hurdles 16 days ago, and he remains of interest back over fences from this mark. Itwasfate and Dundaniel head up the dangers, whilst the Gavin Cromwell trained-pair Dutch Schultz and Invictus Machin can't be ignored either.
