Captain Drake (7/2), Know The Score (4/1), Western Climate (9/2), Dancing Shadow (8/1), Snuff Box (8/1), St Erney (8/1), The Kings Writ (10/1), Muffins For Tea (11/1), Mr Caffrey (11/1), Barbrook Star (12/1), Coopers Square (16/1)

A competitive handicap chase where the presence of back-to-form previous winner of the race Western Climate adds an interesting angle, while Coopers Square, who has a good chase strike-rate, could also make his presence felt. Barbrook Star, The Kings Writ, St Erney, Mr Caffrey and Captain Drake are others for whom cases can be made, but the suggestion is MUFFINS FOR TEA. Colin Tizzard's gelding showed up well on his return from a lengthy absence last time. He is unexposed over fences and looks a big player from this mark, with that run under his belt.
