Sound Of Summer (2/1), Sir Michael (7/2), Crown Towers (4/1), Mount Pleasant (13/2), Ikigai (9/1), Solid Gold (10/1), Tristful (14/1), Let's Twist Again (16/1), Chattertons Keeper (16/1), G G's Dynasty (20/1), Tread Swiftly (22/1), Born To Perform (22/1), Gentleman's Wager (25/1), News Stream (40/1)

Verdict

TREAD SWIFTLY has been running creditably of late and just about gets the nod in this company. Sir Michael also makes the shortlist, while Born To Perform deserves some consideration as well.

  1. TREAD SWIFTLY (SAF)
  2. SIR MICHAEL (SAF)
