The Game Changer (5/2), Flaxen Flare (3/1), Chateau Conti (10/3), Lord Scoundrel (7/1), Lieutenant Colonel (7/1), Alton Bay (20/1), As De Pique (20/1), My Wigwam Or Yours (40/1)

Verdict

Jockey Barry Geraghty won on FLAXEN FLARE back in 2014 and although the winner of four of his 20 hurdle starts has been out of sorts recently the course winner could well turn back the clock here with conditions to suit. Trainer Gordon Elliot could make it a clean sweep here with Lieutenant Colonel, The Game Changer and Lord Scoundrel all capable of hitting the frame.
  1. Flaxen Flare
  2. Lieutenant Colonel
