Balko Des Flos (11/10), A Toi Phil (3/1), Champagne West (7/2), Alpha Des Obeaux (7/1), Tiger Roll (20/1), Realt Mor (80/1)

Perhaps his Galway win took a bit more out of Balko Des Flos than some had first thought, but he was not quite as good behind A Toi Phill and although he could finish closer this time, it is not easy to see him turning around a 6½L deficit on the same terms and Gordon Elliott's charge should again with that battle. However, the win here should go to CHAMPAGNE WEST, who is good at anything over 2m4f and goes well fresh. Tiger Roll looks next best although this shorter trip may not see him to best effect.
