Shan Blue (7/4), The Big Breakaway (16/5), If The Cap Fits (4/1), Enrilo (6/1), Kalooki (12/1), One For The Team (18/1), Golan Fortune (40/1)

A cracking Grade 1 novice chase but SHAN BLUE looks sure to take some stopping in his hat-trick bid after two most impressive Wetherby wins in which he jumped imperiously and scored with lots in hand. The Big Breakaway is sure to leave the form of his recent Exeter reverse behind now back to 3m so is feared most, although Enrilo was a stylish winner there and commands respect for his top yard.
