Defi Du Seuil (9/4), Duc Des Genievres (5/2), Chacun Pour Soi (3/1), Ornua (7/1), Voix Du Reve (10/1), Us And Them (16/1), Duca De Thaix (50/1)
He must prove he can repeat the trick now, but it would be foolish to go against Arkle winner DUC DES GENIEVRES given how well he did it that day. There should be more to come and his trainer is already flying here this week, ensuring he gets the nod. Stablemate Chacun Pour Soi has plenty untapped potential and may run a big race but the big danger is surely JLT winner Defi Du Seuil, the raider having plenty speed for this drop back in trip. Ornua will be up there from the get-go and won't go down easily.
