Bellator Hasn’t done too much wrong this season and even managed a place in the King George on Boxing Day; he goes well here and this is more his trip; likes give in the ground and looks sure to run a good race.
Celibate (IRE) Grand servant who has won a lot of money without winning too often in the last two seasons; he's held by the others on form.
The Outback Way (IRE) Stable's second-jockey rides; a good year last year has left him a little difficult to place now.
Tiutchev Last year’s Arkle winner has been difficult to get fit this season but his run at Ascot on Jan 13 should have helped the cause; must go well en route to a shot at the Queen Mother Champion Chase next month.
