Ballyalton (5/1), Henllan Harri (6/1), Winter Lion (7/1), Virgilio (8/1), Geordie Des Champs (9/1), Good Man Vinnie (9/1), Relentless Dreamer (11/1), Bugsie Malone (11/1), Another Hero (12/1), The Romford Pele (14/1), Drumlee Sunset (16/1), Toviere (20/1), Beeves (22/1), Gas Line Boy (22/1), Easy Street (25/1), Stellar Notion (33/1), Sporting Boy (40/1), Silver Man (50/1)
A typically competitive renewal of this in which previous winner and top-weight The Romford Pele holds obvious claims given his form at the end of last year, while Stellar Notion deserves a place on the shortlist having won very well at Kelso last time out. However VIRGILIO hasn't quite managed to build on the promise of his early career (including when runner-up in the Grade 1 Kauto Star), but still arrives here in good form having won at Aintree last time. He may well prove a bit better than this mark in time, and can record another win on his preferred good ground here.
- Virgilio
- The Romford Pele
