Politologue (11/8), Waiting Patiently (5/2), Defi Du Seuil (9/2), Fanion D'estruval (10/1), First Flow (14/1), Duc Des Genievres (18/1), Bun Doran (80/1), Le Patriote (100/1)

Verdict

POLITOLOGUE is minus Harry Skelton, who has struck up such a good relationship with him, but he'll take plenty of stopping if in anything like the same form as when landing a second Tingle Creek last month. With doubts about the current form of Defi du Seuil the obvious threat is King George runner-up Waiting Patiently, who showed he has the speed for 2m when third in last season's Tingle Creek.
