From The Heart (9/4), Fleminport (7/2), Broadclyst (9/2), High Counsel (11/2), Coopers Square (7/1), Goodnight Charlie (14/1), Goodtoknow (20/1), Irish Octave (25/1), Lord In Red (28/1)

Verdict

From The Heart stepped up on what was a likeable chasing debut to go one better when opening his account over fences last month. He is only a six-year-old, so it is unlikely that a 7lb rise will halt his progress. The one to stick with looks to be BROADCLYST though who is incredibly unexposed for an eight-year-old. He has stepped up markedly on his performances over hurdles, and the form of his second last time out looks the strongest on offer. He can make it third time lucky over the bigger obstacles. Fleminport should get closer to the selection given the swing in the weights after their recent meeting, but he looks vulnerable given his record over fences of 0-6.
  1. Broadclyst
