The Doyen Chief (7/4), Richmond Lake (10/3), Some Scope (5/1), Doctor Ken (11/2), Hold That Taught (7/1), Le Milos (17/2), Deep Cave (11/1), Pull Again Green (14/1)

RICHMOND LAKE starts the new season potentially well handicapped so could be the answer having had a breathing operation since his last run at Aintree (folded tamely after looking a major threat early in the straight). The Doyen Chief is still on the up given how he ended last season so must be respected for his in-form yard, with the race-fit Pull Again Green completing the shortlist.
