9/4
Ballynaheer was a revelation over fences in the summer and autumn, so the good ground here will definitely be to his liking. David Dennis’ seven-year-old was last seen winning at Plumpton by just shy of 10 lengths and a 5lb rise shouldn’t be enough to stop him.

Verdict
It may prove best to side with the untested chase potential of DATSALRIGHTCHARLIE but it's easy to give a shout to all four of them.
