Verdict

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty, and having slipped a little in the weights, NORTHERN EXPRESS could be ready to strike. Far from disgraced when midfield in the Thirsk Hunt Cup recently, he has plenty of excellent efforts to his name on the Knavesmire and can be expected to go close. Spring Cup winner Metal Merchant may have more to offer himself and is feared along with Bopedro. Dutch Decoy and Al Mubhir complete the shortlist.

  1. NORTHERN EXPRESS (IRE)
  2. METAL MERCHANT (IRE)
