Monsieur Gibraltar (7/4), Loughaderra Prince (5/1), Mantou (5/1), Old Pride (6/1), Sam Cavallaro (8/1), Extreme Appeal (14/1), Dido (20/1), Champione (20/1), Swallowshide (66/1), Sadma (66/1), Mr Sawyer (66/1), Azure Glamour (66/1), Brave Jaq (80/1), Guiting Power (100/1), Curragh Hall (100/1)
A competitive enough affair, but many still have questions to answer. SAM CAVALLARO is twelve now, but that doesn't rule him out of making his mark at this level, and with form figures of 112 in this race over the previous three years everything looks set for him to run his usual big race, especially after he ran a nice race in a point-to-point last time. Monsieur Gibraltar must concede weight all round but arguably arrives here in the best form of any of these, so he's the main danger, ahead of Mantou.
