Jameson (5/2), Baden (11/2), Chalonnial (6/1), Crystal Lad (7/1), Qualando (17/2), Touch Kick (10/1), Western Miller (12/1), Casper King (12/1), Accord (16/1), Bally Gilbert (20/1), Deauville Crystal (40/1)

CHALONNIAL looked a potentially useful individual when making a winning debut over hurdles last December and while he failed to win in two subsequent starts in Graded company he can make a winning debut by defying top weight on his chasing debut today. The selection is sure to have been well schooled for this first attempt over fences and can see off today's rivals with Touch Kick for leading trainer Paul Nicholls taken to claim second ahead of Jameson who ran well when finishing runner-up on chasing debut last time out.
