Simply Ned (10/3), Double W's (4/1), Forest Bihan (9/2), Wisty (9/2), Alamein (11/2), Theflyingportrait (11/1), Just Cameron (20/1), Rock On Rocky (22/1)

Verdict

A tough one to call and good solid renewal of this race this time around. Simply Ned has won this twice and was only beaten a neck (by Theflyingportrait) in last year's running. The joint-topweight is better off with last year's victor and has to merit respect in his return to claim his crown. However, the concession of 10lb to the likes of DOUBLE W'S makes for a big task and it's Malcolm Jefferson's charge that just edges the vote this time around. Forest Bihan also has to merit plenty respect on the pick of his form but he he too may be anchored by his burden on these terms.
  1. Double W's
  2. Forest Bihan
  3. Simply Ned
