A few with chances but Harry Derham's BALHAMBAR is enjoying a good time of it in this sphere and looks the way to go on the back of his very good Cheltenham third (form working out well). Rock House is weighted to have a say and next on the list with Norman Fletcher and Alnilam both well in the mix too.
