1

Colonel Mustard 149 J J Slevin • Mrs Lorna Fowler 23-252 9yr • 164lbs

50/1

Exposed 9yo who still has a modest strike-rate; needs help from the first-time blinkers

2

Iberico Lord 151 Nico de Boinville • Nicky Henderson 12-171 6yr • 164lbs

11/1

Supplemented at a cost of £18,000; successful in two big handicaps and the form is strong

3

Irish Point 164 Jack Kennedy • Gordon Elliott 411-11 6yr • 164lbs

9/2

Classy and versatile; major contender, despite dropping back almost a mile in distance

4

Nemean Lion 154 Richard Patrick • Kerry Lee 1-1521 7yr • 164lbs

12/1

Progressive; has landed some notable prizes in the last 12 months; should perform well

5

Not So Sleepy 164 Sean Bowen • Hughie Morrison /355-1 12yr • 164lbs

33/1

Beaten in this race for the last four years (form figures P555); best to look elsewhere

6

State Man 174 Paul Townend • W P Mullins 21-111 7yr • 164lbs

4/11

Beat all bar Constitution Hill in this race last year; clear top on ratings this time

7

Zarak The Brave 156 Daryl Jacob • W P Mullins 2-31P1 5yr • 164lbs

28/1

Currently well short of stablemate State Man's standard but may still rate higher

8

Luccia 153 James Bowen • Nicky Henderson 43-231 6yr • 157lbs

40/1

Useful and generally consistent mare; has frame possibilities, getting 7lb all round
