Verdict

VAUCELET improved on his excellent strike rate back under Rules when beating the idling Dorking Cock at Down Royal on Boxing Day and is just about the form pick with this stiffer test sure to suit. Famous Clermont was most impressive at Haydock last month and rates the main threat ahead of last year's winner Billaway.

  1. VAUCELET (FR)
  2. FAMOUS CLERMONT (FR)
  3. BILLAWAY (IRE)
