Winds Of Fire (3/1), Cat Tiger (9/2), Defi Sacre (13/2), Didero Vallis (7/1), Cobolobo (8/1), Downtown Getaway (17/2), Mr Muldoon (10/1), Port Of Mars (12/1), Sussex Ranger (16/1), Le Breuil (20/1)

Verdict

CAT TIGER arrives on the back of a very good run at Doncaster and gets a narrow vote ahead of the Venetia Williams-trained Didero Vallis, who was back to form at Ludlow last time. Winds of Fire has a much less exposed profile over fences than most of these and is also on the shortlist.

  1. CAT TIGER (FR)
  2. DIDERO VALLIS (FR)
  3. WINDS OF FIRE (USA)
