Sandford Castle (10/11), Black Centaur (10/3), Cushuish (9/2), Golden Poet (7/1), Seaside Girl (7/1), Minella Whisper (15/2), Bellamy's Grey (9/1), Amanofhisword (14/1), Coco Live (16/1), Tip Top Mountain (16/1), Sea Destination (40/1), Florella (50/1), Lure Des Pres (50/1)

SANDFORD CASTLE brings the most solid recent chase form to the table, runner-up at Taunton last month. His mark is creeping up all the time but he's fancied to make his presence felt again. Seaside Girl and Black Centaur are others worth a look, whilst market support for chase-debutants Tip Top Mountain and Amanofhisword would need to be viewed positively.
