Verdict

Gordon Elliott comes here mob handed and his MAXXUM looks the pick at the weights on the back of his very easy Navan success. Gavin Cromwell's Listowel second Perceval Legallois is another weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of C&D winner Maze Runner and the returning Rodaniche. Coventry completes the shortlist.

  1. MAXXUM (IRE)
  2. PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS (FR)
  3. MAZE RUNNER (IRE)
