Yeah Man (9/2), Famous Bridge (9/2), Iron Bridge (5/1), My Silver Lining (11/2), Iwilldoit (13/2), Snipe (13/2), Credo (10/1), Fontaine Collonges (14/1), Highland Hunter (18/1), Full Back (22/1), Chambard (28/1)

IWILLDOIT should revel under these conditions and might be worth siding with to land the third major staying handicap chase win of his career after shaping second best for a long way in the Welsh National over Christmas. The effort of giving chase to Nassalam seemed to tell in the closing stages, allowing the reopposing Iron Bridge to overhaul him for second but he's taken to turn the tables on Jonjo O'Neill's charge now. Yeah Man and course-specialist Famous Bridge complete the shortlist.
