Chris's Dream (5/2), Presenting Percy (3/1), Delta Work (3/1), The Storyteller (9/2), Tout Est Permis (8/1), Balko Des Flos (33/1), Snow Falcon (40/1), Alpha Des Obeaux (40/1), Ravenhill (125/1)
A fascinating renewal of this Grade 1 and it could pay to side with CHRIS'S DREAM who made great strides last term and appeals as the sort to go on again this year with this bare 3m likely to prove ideal. Delta Work rates the form pick of Gordon Elliott's quintet but he could finish only fourth in this 12 months ago so may have to settle for minour honours again with his Presenting Percy.
