Mr Mix (8/11), Kelvingrove (11/8), Touch Screen (20/1), Honourable Henry (40/1)

This is a match between useful hurdlers from top yards. Kelvingrove makes his novice chase debut and is sure to have been well prepared for this. He handles any ground but his hurdling form leaves him with a bit to find with MR MIX who would not want conditions to get any quicker than forecast. The Ditcheat runner had a Fakenham novice chase in his grasp when making his only mistake and unshipping his rider two out. His stable have a 33 percent strike rate in chases here and are 7-14 in similar races this season and he is selected to emulate their success in this race 12 months ago.
