Bachasson (30/100), Darasso (9/4), City Island (9/2), Scarpeta (9/1), Any Second Now (14/1), Dallas Des Pictons (28/1)

Verdict

DARASSO was no match for Chacun Pour Soi on his latest start over fences 25 days ago but he holds sound claims on these terms reverting back to timber and earns the vote to come out on top. Bachasson, who landed this race 2 years ago, is the chief danger, ahead of the returning City Island.
