Verdict

Paul Nicholls has farmed this event in recent seasons and looks to hold sway once more with his promising dual bumper scorer MEATLOAF. Stablemate Annie K also brings plenty of potential and rates the chief threat, although Walk On High has the form to play a part too if fully wound up after a lengthy absence.

  1. MEATLOAF (FR)
  2. ANNIE K (IRE)
  3. WALK ON HIGH
