Shanroe Santos (3/1), Red Infantry (7/2), Royal Vacation (7/2), Milansbar (5/1), Chase The Spud (10/1), Morney Wing (12/1), Actinpieces (14/1), Exitas (16/1)

Verdict

A tricky finale and a narrow vote goes to SHANROE SANTOS who looked good at Fontwell and can land his second course win. Royal Vacation is an obvious threat if repeating his comeback run and Red Infantry has to be on the short list.
  1. Shanroe Santos
  2. Royal Vacation
  3. Red Infantry
