Heaven Forfend (2/5), Mount Mayon (9/4), Reeceltic (20/1)

On the face of it, MOUNT MAYON has it to do trying to concede 7 lb to Heaven Forfend, but that rival is very hard to assess at present having been sold cheaply by Sir Michael Stoute. With that in mind, Ivan Furtado's Southwell winner gets the vote.
