A very useful contest. MAMBONUMBERFIVE took really well to fences at Aintree and gets the nod to make light of a 5 lb rise. Bluey and Secret des Dieux are other promising first-time-out chase winners who should have more to offer, while Captain Bellamy has the profile of one likely to go on to better things over fences.
