Numitor (9/4), Gunsight Ridge (11/4), Up The Straight (9/2), Moonlighter (6/1), Monsieur Lecoq (8/1), Bun Doran (12/1), Paddy's Poem (25/1)
The vote goes to NUMITOR, who has taken his form up a notch in recent starts and Heather Main's charge is likely to take some stopping if given an easy time of things on the front end. He can notch a fourth win from just 7 starts over fences here. Gunsight Ridge bumped into a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Exeter last month so he rates as an obvious danger, ahead of Up The Straight.
