Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but Newbury scorer FANGORN edges the vote given he can race off 1 lb lower than when a good recent third at Yarmouth. Course winner Gilt Edge is greatly feared though, while both Mighty Gurkha and Macs Dilemma need factoring in too.

  1. FANGORN
  2. GILT EDGE
  3. MIGHTY GURKHA (IRE)
