Scamallach Liath (7/2), Saint Davy (4/1), Ed Keeper (4/1), Transmission (8/1), Good Look Charm (10/1), Operation Manna (11/1), Dubrovnik Harry (12/1), Hermino AA (16/1), West Balboa (16/1), Equinus (16/1), Tanganyika (33/1), Wonderwall (33/1), Gustavian (40/1), Ambitious Fellow (50/1), Barbados Buck's (80/1)

A last-flight mistake cost ED KEEPER momentum at a crucial stage at Cheltenham last time and this progressive 6-y-o can show he's still ahead of the handicapper. Fellow low-mileage improver Saint Davy rates an obvious danger on the back of last month's Ludlow reappearance success. Scamallach Liath and Transmission are others heading in the right direction and complete the shortlist.
