Cat Tiger (3/1), Senior Citizen (9/2), Thomas Macdonagh (11/2), Time To Get Up (8/1), Hogan's Height (10/1), Spyglass Hill (10/1), Five Star Getaway (12/1), Sir Jack Yeats (14/1), Mac Tottie (20/1), The West's Awake (20/1), Francky Du Berlais (22/1), Manwell (40/1), Via Dolorosa (40/1), Al Roc (40/1)

Verdict

SENIOR CITIZEN has a big prize in him over these fences judged on the way he took to them twice last season. A return to winning ways in a useful contest at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago proved his well-being and he can come out on top again. All roads point to the National for Time To Get Up but he can still make a mockery of his revised mark on his return. 2019-winner Hogan's Height may revive.

  1. SENIOR CITIZEN
  2. TIME TO GET UP (IRE)
  3. HOGAN'S HEIGHT (IRE)
