Best Mate Dave (3/1), Steal My Sunshine (7/2), Elogio (5/1), Rare Clouds (13/2), Gieves (15/2), Gavin (9/1), Bertie B (12/1), Highlander Casseul (14/1), Versatility (33/1), Dave And Bernie (50/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but C&D winner BEST MATE DAVE arrives on an upward curve and is taken to emerge on top from handily-weighted course scorer Gieves. Steal My Sunshine and Elogio both have plenty to recommend them too so need considering in a competitive event.
