Native River (5/2), Simply The Betts (7/2), Protektorat (4/1), Imperial Aura (7/1), Sam Brown (8/1), Wishing And Hoping (12/1), Tiger Roll (14/1), The Two Amigos (20/1)
SIMPLY THE BETTS finished behind Protektorat in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham, but that was a most encouraging effort given that he was returning from a year off and the combination of this step up in trip and sharper track could be just the tonic. Protektorat won't go down without a fight and 2019 winner Native River is greatly respected, too, but Imperial Aura is second choice.
