Plum Pudding (9/4), Bristol Hercules (11/4), Trois Trois Quatre (3/1), Go Grayson Go (6/1), Down To Business (17/2), Royal Invitation (12/1), Afropolitan (14/1), Sequoia (40/1)

Verdict

PLUM PUDDING has been hard to fault in recent runs and is just about the pick in this line up. Royal Invitation makes most appeal among the remainder, while Trois Trois Quatre also requires respect.
