Monsieur Glory (3/1), Sir Jack (4/1), Diamond Runner (5/1), Buonarroti (6/1), Royal Reserve (8/1), Polar Forest (8/1), La Havrese (9/1), Ski Blast (12/1), Hannington (12/1), Glorious Poet (12/1), Footlight (14/1)

A tricky finale in which top weight Monsieur Glory seems sure to be thereabouts. He is not passed over lightly, while the in-form Polar Forest, Sir Jack and Hannington are also respected. The vote, though, goes to ROYAL RESERVE, who looks to be running over his optimum distance this time and whose stable has started to fire in a few winners.
