ARIZONA CARDINAL's overall profile hints at consistency issues but, given the manner of his victory at Leicester last month, Stuart Edmunds' 8-y-o is fancied to make light of a 5 lb rise and record a fourth success over the larger obstacles. Duke of Deception kept mistakes to a minimum back over fences when runner-up at Aintree on Boxing Day, so he heads up the opposition, with Midnight Mary and One True King taken to fight out minor honours.

  1. ARIZONA CARDINAL
  2. DUKE OF DECEPTION (IRE)
  3. MIDNIGHT MARY
