Trainer: Paul Nicholls
Jockey: Bryony Frost
Previous winner over this tip. Won Grade 2 Novices Chase in fine style back in February. If ready to go first time out has big chance.
Black Corton - 3/1
Double Shuffle - 4/1
Trainer: Tom George
Jockey: A P Heskin
No victory since December 2016 and yet to win in graded company. Consistently hits frame was a length second to Might Bite in King George on Boxing Day.
Definitely Red - 6/1
Trainer: Brian Ellison
Jockey: Danny Cook
Nine-year-old who unseated at Aintree when last seen. Won twice in Graded company last season and undoubtedly has a major chance again. Course and Distance winner.
Virgilio - 7/1
Trainer: Dan Skelton
Jockey: Bridget Andrews
Won twice in lower grade races over the summer after a disappointing season. Will need to recapture form of 2016 and even then it would take a career best.
Regal Encore - 33/1
Trainer: Anthony Honeyball
Jockey: Richie McLernon
Understandably rank-outsider. Constantly finds graded company too much and belongs at listed level.
