Brighterdaysahead (6/5), Caldwell Potter (9/4), Ile Atlantique (5/2), Jimmy Du Seuil (10/3), Staffordshire Knot (20/1), Esprit Du Potier (22/1), Mahon's Way (25/1), Bugise Seagull (50/1), Josh The Boss (80/1)

The step up to 2½m could see CALDWELL POTTER in an even better light and he can prove just too strong for his half-sister and former stablemate Brighterdaysahead. Baring Bingham runner-up Ile Atlantique looks best of the rest.
