Velvet Maker (11/4), Rouge Et Blanc (5/1), Numbercruncher (11/2), Grandioso (7/1), Never Complain (10/1), Gowanauthat (12/1), Trafalgar Rock (12/1), Throthethatch (14/1), Santa's Secret (16/1), Mantou (20/1), Aero Majestic (20/1), Proximo (20/1), Argot (25/1)
VELVET MAKER took on the likes of Douvan at his peak and has gone to the last two Cheltenham Festivals. He represents last year's winning connections and could be on a different level to these. Throthehatch is proven in the conditions and has the excellent Gina Andrews on board, whilst Trafalgar Rock will have the going to suit and his hurdle rating puts him ahead of many of these. Rouge Et Blanc won well last time and will love the surface, but this is a better race over a shorter trip.
