Jungle Mac (3/1), Dutch Decoy (3/1), Berkshire Nugget (10/3), Red Hat Eagle (5/1), I Still Have Faith (17/2), Double Time (12/1), City Of York (14/1), Throne Hall (100/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for BERKSHIRE NUGGET, who is yet to finish out of the placings this season and his yard couldn't be in much better form. Red Hat Eagle arrives on a hat-trick, and with the services of William Buick enlisted, he's fancied to be in the shake-up. Dutch Decoy should find this drop in grade liberating, so he can edge out Jungle Mac for third.

  1. BERKSHIRE NUGGET (IRE)
  2. RED HAT EAGLE
  3. DUTCH DECOY
