Palamon (11/8), Calimystic (6/4), Go West (2/1), Kahavari (3/1), Millforce (11/1)
CALIMYSTIC has hardly put a foot wrong in starting his chasing career 2-2 and with further progress on the cards, Nicky Henderson's lightly-raced 7-y-o can maintain his unbeaten record in this discipline at the expense of Palamon, who struggled at Aintree earlier in the month but is back in calmer waters here. Go West can fill out third.
