Up For Parol (5/2), Mackelduff (3/1), Stellar Magic (9/2), Hart Of Steel (7/1), Little Awkward (17/2), Boss Man Fred (12/1), Minella Charmer (16/1), Soul Emotion (18/1), N'Golo (50/1)

An intriguing handicap with the vote in favour of MACKELDUFF. A winner on return/handicap debut at Aintree in October, he was far from disgraced when third in a stronger affair at Cheltenham last month and remains of interest from this sort of mark. The returning pair Stellar Magic and Boss Man Fred may emerge as the chief threats.
