Yosemite Valley (5/4), Big Gossey (11/4), Verhoyen (3/1), Real Force (13/2), Alexander John (33/1)

YOSEMITE VALLEY got off the mark in good style in a course maiden in September and this longer trip should bring more out of him, so he's preferred to Big Gossey, who is the clear form pick but hasn't been firing of late. Verhoyen is also considered.
