Sebastopol (11/4), Accomplice (4/1), Kaizer (13/2), Navajo Pass (7/1), Newtown Boy (8/1), Native Fighter (8/1), Clearance (10/1), Elf De Re (11/1), Skiddaw Valleys (14/1), I'm To Blame (16/1)
An intriguing contest with the vote in favour of NATIVE FIGHTER. He's a winner from 3 lb lower at Perth in the summer, it's possible he will strip fitter for last month's Doncaster return spin and the forecast better ground/step back up in trip are both positive factors. Sebastopol was most progressive last term and is feared on the back of his Newbury effort, ahead of Navajo Pass and Accomplice.
