Jan Smuts can be fancied to reverse placings with Ryan The Giant despite missing his regular partner Hollie Doyle, and the faster they go early the better his chance of winning the race. Royal Flag is on the up, but we don't quite know about his true ability over this trip after that farce of a contest over C&D in January, so the vote goes to YASIR who appeared to be crying out for a step up in trip when third at Wolverhampton last time, with the added bonus of Paul Mulrennan taking the ride. 1. Yasir 2. Jan Smuts 3. Royal Flag
