Monsieur Jimmy (9/2), Borough Boy (5/1), Wimboldsley (6/1), Spice Mill (13/2), Fortinbrass (15/2), Viva Verglas (9/1), Excellent Aim (10/1), Major Muscari (12/1), Spowarticus (12/1), Doeadeer (14/1), Cadeaux Pearl (16/1), Whaleweigh Station (16/1), Hab Reeh (16/1)

A lot of these are old rivals and have faced each other on numerous occasions. FORTINBRASS has a more solid profile than most and, despite having to shoulder the burden of topweight, the fractions stack up in his favour on this occasion. Wimboldsley and Cadeaux Pearl are closely matched and both have sound claims of making the frame, but have been done few favours by the draw; so it may be down to Whaleweigh Station to provide the selection with the sternest challenge this time around.
