Tough to split some of these but the vote goes to KING D'ARGENT. Dan Skelton's charge was highly progressive over fences last season and, provided he's ready to roll, he could take some stopping around here if allowed to dictate matters. First and second in this last year Nuts Well and Aye Right are both feared making their reappearance, with Irish-raider Ballyoisin another worthy of a mention.
