L'Ami Serge (2/1), Different Gravey (2/1), Lil Rockerfeller (3/1), Le Rocher (9/2), Adrien Du Pont (17/2), Camping Ground (9/1), Third Intention (25/1), Shelford (40/1)
Take the hint that LE ROCHER is bypassing handicaps from what looks a very good mark on his juvenile form to take his chances here. He was looking like he could be top class before his injuries kept him away for a year, but based on his latest win he could be coming back to his best and this was the target nominated after that win. Lil Rockerfeller would run through a wall if you asked him and last year's winner should go well again. Different Gravey is talented but has a little to prove now back over hurdles, L'Ami Serge should go well but maybe we haven't seen the best of Adrien Du Pont yet and he can get in the places.
1. Le Rocher
2. Lil Rockerfeller
3. Adrien Du Pont
