Clondaw Westie (6/4), Rothman (13/8), Bredon Hill Lad (5/1), Mr Muddle (10/1), Le Curieux (14/1)

A small field affair, but plenty of previous Fontwell form on offer with the likes of ROTHMAN, Bredon Hill Lad and Mr Muddle in the line up. There should be no shortage of early pace in the race, and that's a slight concern for the less experienced chaser Clondaw Westie. He'd probably have been the pick of this quintet away from the twists and turns of this particular track, but rhythm is all important here, and whilst his overall win record doesn't inspire the utmost confidence, Chris Gordon's horse just gets the narrow verdict.
