Marcle Ridge (15/8), Fairly Famous (11/4), Trio For Rio (9/2), Bloodstone (8/1), Moratorium (9/1), Hidden Charmer (12/1), Let Me Entertain U (16/1), Bobby Bow (16/1)

Verdict

MARCLE RIDGE can boast a superb record in points and, as a winner of this in 2019, a bold bid seems assured. Trio For Rio landed the 2021 and 2022 renewals of this and he won't go down without a fight, with Moratorium considered for all he does need to bounce back.
