Grimaud (4/1), Paddy's Milestone (9/2), Gringo D'aubrelle (6/1), Ayiko (6/1), Koori Star (15/2), Fascile Mode (17/2), Buachaillbocht (9/1), Yeats Star (11/1), I Love My Baie (16/1), Eagles Reign (25/1), Timmy Tuesday (25/1), Ashdale Bob (28/1), Buddy One (33/1), Ottizzini (40/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to FASCILE MODE, who was 6 lb out of the handicap when a fine second in a valuable Grade 3 handicap chase at Cheltenham last month and he makes plenty of appeal returned to this sphere. If Ayiko is fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance he will be a big threat, while Yeats Star and Grimaud, two of the four Gordon Elliott-trained representatives, are also shortlisted. Buachaillbocht is another to consider.

  1. FASCILE MODE (IRE)
  2. AYIKO
