Virak (10/11), Mendip Express (9/4), Now Ben (6/1), Real Milan (7/1), Wild Bill (10/1), Lilbitluso (16/1), Tugboat (66/1)
This looks very much a match between VIRAK and Mendip Express and in receipt of weight, the latter gets the vote in the hope that he can shrug off last season's form and prosper at this level. Three years his senior, Philip Hobbs-trained Mendip Express comes here in better recent form and can make a race of it. Now Ben and Real Milan can battle for third spot.
