Min (13/8), Allaho (11/4), Battleoverdoyen (9/2), Chris's Dream (11/2), Samcro (6/1), Tornado Flyer (12/1), Melon (22/1), Le Richebourg (33/1)

MIN is one of the most reliable top-class chasers around and is taken to win this Grade 1 for the third year in succession. The main threat may come from within his own stable as Allaho rates one destined for Grade 1 success before long after finishing third in the RSA at the Cheltenham Festival on only his third chase start. Chris's Dream may prove best of the remainder in a cracking renewal.
