Knockanore (4/1), Apple Away (9/2), Invincible Nao (8/1), Fortunedefortunata (10/1), Mr Vango (11/1), Passing Well (11/1), Galia Des Liteaux (11/1), Ioupy Collonges (12/1), Tanganyika (14/1), Bodhisattva (14/1), Val Dancer (14/1), Saint Davy (16/1), Anglers Crag (20/1), My Silver Lining (22/1), Iron Bridge (22/1), Where It All Began (28/1), Egbert (33/1)

This is wide open but KNOCKANORE proved a revelation on his first go over a marathon trip when routing his field in Newcastle's Eider Chase and with ground conditions again likely to be far from testing he can follow up with talented claimer Freddie Mitchell once more taking off 5 lb. The admirable Mr Vango is feared most in his hat-trick bid, although Tanganyika, Apple Away and Val Dancer all seem sure to have a say too. Invincible Nao completes the shortlist in a cracking Midlands National.
