Fil Dor (6/5), Vauban (9/4), Icare Allen (9/2), The Tide Turns (18/1), Ben Siegel (18/1), Vadaly (18/1), Il Etait Temps (40/1), Six Feet Apart (80/1), Scenic Look (150/1)

Verdict

FIL DOR was impressive when maintaining his 100% record over hurdles in a C&D Grade 2 on his latest start over Christmas and he gets the nod to come out on top again with further progress in the offing. Vauban, who produced a highly promising effort behind the selection's stablemate Pied Piper in December, is a major threat though, ahead of Ben Siegel and Icare Allen.
