Spillane's Tower (5/2), Monty's Star (5/2), Embassy Gardens (7/2), Sharjah (15/2), Sandor Clegane (8/1), American Mike (14/1), Three Card Brag (25/1), Salvador Ziggy (25/1)

MONTY'S STAR found only Fact To File too strong in the Brown Advisory at the Cheltenham Festival and should still be relatively fresh after only 3 starts this season. He gets the vote over the progressive Spillane's Tower and Embassy Gardens, who will be suited by the drop back in trip.
