Shotgun Paddy and Carruthers, first and second in last season's Betfred Classic Chase, are again amongst a field of 18 for the Grade Three handicap at Warwick on Saturday.

Emma Lavelle's Shotgun Paddy was well fancied for the Welsh National but made an early mistake and never got involved.

Carruthers has been running in cross-country chases for Mark Bradstock.

Theatrical Star and Global Power, first and second at Fontwell last month, are on course to meet again.

Rigadin De Beauchene won the Classic Chase in 2013 and could return to action for Venetia Williams, who has also entered Ballyoliver.

Benbane Head, Hawkes Point, West End Rocker, who claimed the race in 2011, and Tales Of Milan are also in the mix.
