Naval Crown (2/1), Tactical (5/1), Royal Scimitar (11/2), Legal Attack (6/1), Ontario (7/1), Percy's Lad (8/1), Dark Lion (10/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for all of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with PERCY'S LAD who showed himself to be a very useful prospect when a gutsy runner-up in the Horris Hill and has an attitude that will serve him very well this season. Legal Attack arrives on the up and heads the list of dangers with the progressive Royal Scimitar and Meydan-scorer Naval Crown not taken lightly either.

  1. PERCY'S LAD
  2. LEGAL ATTACK
  3. ROYAL SCIMITAR (IRE)
