Trainwreck (4/5), Duca De Thaix (6/4), Us And Them (11/4), Kildorrery (10/1), My Manekineko (25/1), Mr Picotee (33/1)
This has the look of a match between exciting prospects TRAINWRECK and Us And Them, and the former is preferred on the basis that he's likely to be fully clued up on chase debut. Us And Them beat the selection over hurdles here last season, so will not be an easy opponent to brush aside. Duca de Thaix is clear pick of the others.
