Myristica (6/4), Briardale (9/4), Big Boy Bobby (4/1), Yorkshire Lady (13/2), Rum Runner (13/2), Delph Crescent (17/2), Art Dealer (33/1), Wild Thunder (40/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these but DELPH CRESCENT should find ground conditions much more to his taste than when a recent third to Briardale over C&D and is fancied to make the most of an 8 lb weights pull and bag a second C&D victory. Ed Bethell's thriving top weight is still greatly feared though, with course-winner Yorkshire Lady another who warrants lots of respect.

  1. DELPH CRESCENT (IRE)
