Friday's John Smith's Melling Chase at Aintree promises to be a cracker after Queen Mother second and third, Forpadydeplasterer and Kalahri King, were among 11 declared today.
Albertas Run and Poquelin, first and second in the Ryanair Chase, are also set to renew rivalry and the popular fron running grey Monet's Garden is set to be partnered by Richard Johnson for the first time.
The field is completed by Deep Purple, Jack The Giant, Mahogany Blaze, Oh Crick, Schindlers Hunt, and Tartak.
Jonjo O'Neill is delighted with the way Ablertas Run has come out of his Festival triumph and is hopefulk that he can sign off for the season with another biog race win..
"I've been pleased with him since the Ryanair and, while he knew he'd had a race that day, he seems absolutely fine now and is ready to go again," the trainer told his website www.jonjooneillracing.com.
"Albertas doesn't owe us anything considering how well he's done over the years, but it would be fantastic if he could cap this season off with yet another big win."
