For this chase the short list contains Mylo, Green Go and Flahive's First, with the selection being Green Go. Mylo is on a winning mark and, even though, he is not the most straightforward of rides, cannot be ruled out of a good run. Flahive's First's mark looks fair and he holds each-way prospects. With winning chasing form rated in the 90s, Green Go has to be given consideration but Lanaken has yet to progress from his 2005 novice win. Strong Magic now runs from a mark that is one pound below his Leicester winning mark of last season, although he lost his way afterwards, and Royal China seems to have had his problems since showing ability in 2004. Finally, Up The Pub would hold claims based on his form of 12 months ago but, for the selection, we will side with Green Go.
