Sigurd (13/8), Mackie Dee (3/1), Furius De Ciergues (9/2), Rollerball Rocco (6/1), Epsom Des Mottes (9/1), Spirit Of Hale (10/1), Derrick D'Anjou (10/1), Catlin (10/1), Ector (12/1), Classical Sound (12/1), Purple Harry (50/1)

SIGURD had plenty to spare when landing a C&D handicap chase 6 days ago and, although not certain to be in the same form, it's worth taking the chance that he can go in again under a penalty. Mackie Dee, another easy winner last time, is a reasonable alternative, while a case can also be made for the in-form Furius de Ciergues.
