Verdict

The vote in this tricky-looking contest goes to ARABIST, who didn't shape at all badly behind the upwardly mobile Soapy Stevens (winner again since) over this C&D a couple of weeks ago. He is entitled to come on for that (first run for 8 months) and the addition of cheekpieces may aid his cause. G For Gabrial is second choice ahead of hat-trick seeker Elhafei.

  1. ARABIST
  2. G FOR GABRIAL (IRE)
  3. ELHAFEI (USA)
