Cerendipity (9/4), Eaton Collina (11/4), No Risk Des Flos (7/2), Shan Blue (9/2), Genois (5/1), Geryville (12/1), Mackenberg (16/1), Arthur's Quay (22/1), Into Overdrive (50/1)

After a promising reappearance, SHAN BLUE wasn't in the same form at Cheltenham last time, but he's well worth another chance as he drops in grade. He could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark, though the 2023 winner of this race No Risk des Flos isn't taken lightly as he bids for a fifth course success, with Eaton Collina also considered.
