Verdict

William Haggas landed this prize 2 years ago and looks to have another prime candidate this time around in the shape of SOLOMON. Most impressive when scoring readily at Haydock on Sunday, he goes unpenalized for that victory and he should prove tough to beat provided this doesn't come too soon. Andrew Balding's pair Dambuster and Mina Rashid likely have bigger efforts in their lockers and along with Houstonn, head the dangers.

  1. SOLOMON
  2. DAMBUSTER
  3. MINA RASHID
