Ballykan (5/1), Rightdownthemiddle (5/1), Volnay De Thaix (11/2), Upswing (13/2), Lord Ballim (8/1), Looking Well (8/1), Roc D'Apsis (10/1), Cultram Abbey (11/1), Beeves (12/1), Aerlite Supreme (16/1), Yes Tom (20/1), Valadom (25/1)

Needless to say for a race of this class this is competitive and it will take some winning and with Beeves in the field it should be run at a good gallop. Both Cultram Abbey and Upswing are worthy of a look here although the latter can be very idle and takes some knowing while Ballykan will have his supporters but may just find his stamina stretched again. Rightdownthemiddle has to come into the equation on his Aintree form and Volnay De Thaix brings a touch of class to the race. All in all though it’s the improvers LORD BALLIM who gets the overall vote he has to overcome a rise in class but the handicapper may not have caught up with him yet and this strong travelling sort could well have the race run to suit here.
