Verdict

FRESH came with a strong run to pip some of these rivals over C&D 4 weeks ago and a 1 lb nudge may not prevent him landing a third successive big pot over C&D. Symbolize is down to the same mark as when a clear second in this 12 months ago so he rates a big threat, particularly as he won't be inconvenienced should rain arrive. David O'Meara does very well in these sort of contests and his Blue For You and Orbaan also make the shortlist.

  1. FRESH

  3. BLUE FOR YOU (IRE)
