Bob Olinger (6/5), Capodanno (11/4), Fury Road (15/2), Millers Bank (10/1), Beacon Edge (11/1), Lifetime Ambition (12/1), Ballyshannon Rose (50/1)

It would be something of an understatement to say that BOB OLINGER was a fortuitous winner of the Turners Novices' Chase at last month's Cheltenham Festival, given that Galopin Des Champs was well clear when exiting at the final fence. Still, he faces nothing of that rival's calibre here and is taken to make it 4-4 over fences now upped to 3m for the first time under Rules. Fury Road is just about second choice ahead of Capodanno and British raider Millers Bank.
