Harper's Brook (7/2), Hudson De Grugy (7/2), Cap Du Mathan (9/2), Gloire D'Athon (11/2), Quinta Do Mar (9/1), Quel Destin (10/1), Honneur D'Ajonc (12/1), Fable (12/1), Mumbo Jumbo (12/1)

None of these can be ruled out with complete confidence. The value angle could be GLOIRE D'ATHON, who completed the hat-trick when scoring over C&D during the winter and his latest second at Plumpton was no backward step. Harper's Brook looks the pick of the Ben Pauling-trained duo and is feared most with his sights lowered having contested a Grade novice and the Ultima at Cheltenham the last twice. Paul Nicholls also saddles two and Cap du Mathan, the choice of Harry Cobden, also has claims.
