Don Poli among Becher entries Don Poli is the headline act among 47 entries for the Betfred Becher Chase at Aintree on December 5. The Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old is prominent in ante-post lists for the Cheltenham Gold Cup following a brilliant display in last season's RSA Chase but he is also an intriguing contender over the Grand National fences. Mullins has also entered another Grade One winner in Valseur Lido, while a potentially strong Irish challenge includes Goonyella, Heathfield, First Lieutenant and Irish Grand National hero Thunder And Roses. Other possible runners include the Paul Nicholls-trained pair of Rocky Creek and Unioniste, 2014 Grand National winner Pineau De Re and this year's runner-up Saint Are.
