Deise Aba (3/1), Fairly Famous (10/3), Premier Magic (7/2), Lift Me Up (11/2), Quintin's Man (11/2), Captain Tommy (14/1), Definite Dilemma (33/1), Encounter A Giant (40/1), Ripper Roo (40/1)

PREMIER MAGIC disappointed when bidding to defend his crown in the Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase here 7 weeks ago but he can bounce back with a bang and repeat last year's success in this. Deise Aba has made a positive start for this yard and is next best ahead of Fairly Famous, who was an impressive winner at this meeting last season.
