Verdict

ROYAL MER completed the hat-trick in stylish fashion at Wincanton 11 days ago and a 7 lb penalty may not prevent David Pipe's 6-y-o from collecting his sixth victory of a terrific campaign. He can get the better of Salamanca Bay, who channelled his energy much better in a first-time hood when scoring over C&D just under 6 weeks ago, while Rath Gaul Hill was another last-time-out winner and he completes the shortlist.

  1. ROYAL MER (FR)
  2. SALAMANCA BAY (IRE)
  3. RATH GAUL HILL (IRE)
