David Jennings expects Sam Brown to give his Ten To Follow team a flying start
You will blast from the traps if finding the Ladbrokes Trophy winner so that's why Sam Brown sneaks into my top ten.
Given his cracking run at Carlisle behind Imperial Aura over an inadequate trip it amazes me he is 16-1. Expect him to start at single figures and if the ground is soft he will take some pegging back off 152 for Anthony Honeyball, who has made a spectacular start to the season.

Nobody was more surprised to see do what he did at Wetherby. If the same horse shows up on Boxing Day the King George is his.
There will be raised eyebrows that I've included Santini and Presenting Percy.
The reason for is simple. I think he will win the Betfair Chase, a bonus points race. As for Presenting Percy, the key could be keeping him race-fit. He was at his best when he was at his busiest so Gordon Elliott may run him in all the big staying chases. He could pick up plenty of points.
was electric last season, while could be the one to mop up two-mile hurdles in Ireland.
It was some performance from Eldorado Allen to see off the zippy Stormy Ireland around Newton Abbot and he can develop into an Arkle contender, while Mister Fisher has the Ryanair written all over him.
Sire Du Berlais, twice a winner of the Pertemps Final, returned with a typically gutsy win in the Lismullen Hurdle and, given his record on the new course at Cheltenham, he is my staying hurdler.
Finally, Defi Du Seuil is the forgotten horse. On his day, he is the best two-mile chaser in the business and I expect him to start his season in style in the Shloer Chase on Sunday, just as he did last term.
