Third Time Lucki (9/5), Edwardstone (3/1), Minella Drama (6/1), Il Ridoto (6/1), War Lord (10/1), Stolen Silver (14/1), Do Your Job (20/1)

THIRD TIME LUCKI has been an impressive winner of his 2 chase starts at Cheltenham and is fancied to provide Dan and Harry Skelton with back-to-back wins in this contest. Paul Nicholls has a record 7 wins in this so it's interesting that he fast tracks Il Ridoto to Grade 1 company after his Newbury handicap success last week and he's feared most ahead of Edwardstone in a good renewal.
