Vinndication (2/1), Champ (2/1), Just A Sting (2/1), Santini (7/2), Mere Ironmonger (16/1), Quarry Leader (18/1), Overworkdunderpaid (20/1), Imperial Eloquence (25/1), Lord Getaway (66/1)

The unbeaten Vinndication warrants plenty of respect and Just A Sting should be winning soon, but the champion trainer holds the key to this contest in SANTINI and Champ. The selection's form has been franked by the two subsequent wins of his closest victim at Newbury and he gets a narrow vote to beat his stable companion, who has always had a decent reputation and is sure to have been well schooled for this hurdling debut.
