Verdict

A competitive small-field affair with the vote in favour of EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS. A cracking second from a 1 lb lower mark at Ascot in December, he arrives having scored in a jumpers bumper last month and is expected to go well in refitted cheekpieces. Molineaux, who has an excellent course record, and in-form Paddy's Poem are also on the shortlist.

  1. EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS (FR)
  2. PADDY'S POEM
  3. MOLINEAUX (IRE)
