Chantry House (5/6), Simply The Betts (3/1), Aye Right (9/2), Santini (10/1), Kauto Riko (66/1)

Verdict

CHANTRY HOUSE ran no sort of race when favourite for the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day but he was one of the leading novice chasers last season and this looks a good opportunity for him to get back on track with headgear applied. Simply The Betts ran a mighty race on his third start for this yard when second off 153 in a Grade 3 handicap here on New Year's Day and rates the main threat.

  1. CHANTRY HOUSE (IRE)
  2. SIMPLY THE BETTS (IRE)
  3. AYE RIGHT (IRE)
