Port Melon (5/4), Tom Barton (9/4), Such A Legend (7/1), Starkie (12/1), No Likey (12/1), Boher Call (14/1), Treat Yourself (33/1), Driftwood Pride (33/1)

Verdict

Tom Barton brings the best point-to-point form into this but on paper he faces a stiff task against PORT MELON who was a useful chaser at his best. Paul Nicholls has a good record in these races and his chaser may do better following a break and a return to less competitive company. Such A Legend was a Chepstow winner over this trip a year ago off a mark of 123 and conditions are set for him to produce his best run since.
  1. Port Melon
  2. Tom Barton
  3. Such A Legend
