Fury Road (13/8), Sire Du Berlais (11/4), Ronald Pump (7/2), The Storyteller (7/1), French Dynamite (8/1), Flooring Porter (11/1), Bapaume (11/1), Bacardys (12/1), Sixshooter (16/1)
A dual winner of the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham, SIRE DU BERLAIS took the step up to graded company in his stride when landing a Navan Grade 2 on return in November. He earns the vote to continue the good work now tackling Grade 1 company. Ronald Pump, back at 3m, is feared, ahead of Fury Road and The Storyteller.
