Bravemansgame (8/11), Bothwell Bridge (15/8), Es Perfecto (14/1), Real Stone (16/1), Diocletian (22/1)

Some interesting novices on show and Paul Nicholls' impressive Exeter scorer BRAVEMANSGAME is given the nod with this step up in trip sure to show him in an even better light. Nicky Henderson has an excellent record in this contest so his Warwick winner Bothwell Bridge rates a massive threat though, while Aintree-victor Real Stone and useful Flat stayer Diocletian can't be easily ruled out either.
