Majestic Merlin (2/1), Pola Chance (11/4), Balkardy (7/1), Royal Act (8/1), Loup De Maulde (11/1), Annie Nail (14/1), Master Mikey Dee (16/1), Royal Plaza (16/1), Abaya Du Mathan (20/1)

It's worth giving another chance to MAJESTIC MERLIN, who is now 11 lb lower compared to the start of the season and a reproduction of his effort here when third in February would probably suffice. If Balkardy takes to fences at the first attempt, he will be a live danger and Pola Chance is also accorded respect on the back of a solid effort at this course.
