Verdict

Paul Nicholls has his team in cracking form this autumn so SAMETEGAL, who posted solid efforts in defeat last season, gets the nod to make a winning return to action. C&D scorer Minellacelebration is only 1 lb higher that when bagging a nice prize at Uttoxeter in July and heads the dangers along with Vieux Lion Rouge, who has a good record fresh. Ballydine is also on the shortlist.

  1. SAMETEGAL (FR)
  2. MINELLACELEBRATION (IRE)
  3. VIEUX LION ROUGE (FR)
