Verdict

Andrew Balding bagged this prize 12 months ago and looks to have another prime candidate in the shape of GOLDEN REDEMPTION. Having ended last season with a pair of solid placed efforts, he promises to be all the better for his reappearance Kempton third and can come out on top. A return to forcing tactics can see C&D winner Elarak in a better light and he's feared most ahead of Silver Ghost and Billyjoh.

  1. GOLDEN REDEMPTION (USA)
  2. ELARAK
  3. SILVER GHOST (IRE)
