Its On The Line (4/7), Big Interest (3/1), Ryehill (6/1), Ontheropes (12/1), Lonesome Boatman (12/1), Annamix (40/1), Arverne (66/1), King Alex (66/1), Balkito (250/1)

A couple of the main fancies for the Cheltenham hunter do battle and ITS ON THE LINE can gain revenge on Big Interest from their Down Royal meeting. David Christie's charge is very promising and won't go down easily, while Ryehill has solid place claims.
