Present Value (1/1), Danny Whizzbang (2/1), Truckin Away (7/2), Joyrider (16/1), Cool Destination (25/1), Win My Wings (25/1), Yesandno (33/1), Bertie Boru (66/1), Roccowithlove (100/1), King Of The Sharks (100/1), Italian River (150/1), Rupert Valentino (200/1)

PRESENT VALUE created quite an impression at Chepstow latest and looks the sort who will only get better now facing a genuine test of stamina hence he gets the vote. Point and Hereford novice winner Danny Whizzbang is the most feared rival for the all-conquering Paul Nicholls team. With the penalised runners very much favoured Truckin Away is next best.
