Without giving it too much thought I think these three fourth's should progress:-
Burbank
Constantine Bay
Coo Star Sivola

I expect Mohaayed to bolt up in a handicap at some point
If Labaik could consistently start...
Constantine Bay would have been the first I mentioned. Was almost stopped dead by the faller and then stayed on really well again.
Connections must be sick. Think they had four horses who all ran blinders but weren't quite good enough to win.
I'd also mention Buveur d'Air. Looks a real top notcher and could dominate the 2m Hurdling division.
Deans Road caught a fence wrong and was brought to an abrupt halt, the fact it almost made the places was a very credible effort.
May still be under the radar and will probably go off again at a big price.
Minella Rocco is obvious - lightly raced and only 7. Not convinced his jumping will survive a national but probably a spring horse and likely to disappoint and drift next winter.
Presenting Percy. - would have won the Albert Bartlett
DDS - best juvenile for a long time
Quite a few didn't give their running so hard to assess, Yorkhill over further could be very good and I would expect Ruby to push for a Gold cup campaign next season, I'm sure he won't want to be looking forward to challenging for a place on Djakadam again
