Some Detail (85/40), Faitque De L'Isle (7/2), Trixster (9/2), Milanford (11/2), Premier D'troice (7/1), Flying Verse (11/1), Boughtbeforelunch (14/1), Sizing Cusimano (25/1), Hotel Du Nord (33/1)

Based on recent evidence, SOME DETAIL, Flying Verse and Trixster are the most likely candidates. The hat-trick seeking Flying Verse is the obvious starting point and he is greatly respected but Some Detail is now just 2 lb higher than for his latest success here in February and is appealing on the back of a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at Exeter. Trixster will find this easier than the Cheltenham handicap he contested last time and he is capable of a very bold show.
