Ticket To Ride (2/1), Rocky's Silver (4/1), Allduckornodinner (9/2), The Horsechesnut (5/1), Loch Luatha (12/1), Gotaway (14/1), Perfect Leader (14/1), Kilderry Prince (20/1), Una's Pleasure (33/1), Taboo (50/1), Mountain Philip (66/1)

Verdict

THE HORSECHESNUT was no match for Rocky's Silver last time out but with a 19lb weight pull he has a great chance to turn the tables and given his smart hurdles form earlier in his career there is plenty of evidence to suggest that 20/1 run was not a one-off. The manner of the latter's success however means that reversal is far from certain and Rachael Blackmore's mount is certainly among the more likely sorts again. Ticket To Ride is taken to reverse with Allduckornodinner now with a handy weight pull but he must jump better.
  1. The Horsechesnut
