Atlantic Storm (15/8), Borak (11/4), Beach Break (3/1), Ambre Des Marais (9/1), Excellent Team (12/1), Samtu (14/1)

Pushed up to a career-high mark and back into handicaps Beach Break will need the run of the race to overcome that impost having although he’s looked better since wearing blinkers over hurdles. Ambre Des Marais isn’t totally straightforward but has shown he can compete off this mark while Borak can’t be written off returning to this trip having failed to complete a hat-trick last time. Trainer Dan Skelton runs two in the race but it’s his ATLANTIC STORM returning from a spell chasing who takes the eye off a lower hurdles mark having already run well over C&D this season.
