Laskalin (7/2), Empire Steel (5/1), Bangers And Cash (6/1), Celebre D'Allen (7/1), Broken Halo (7/1), Larry (9/1), Equus Dancer (9/1), Castle Robin (10/1), Rapper (10/1), Eva's Oskar (12/1), Movethechains (20/1), Flegmatik (22/1), Emir Sacree (25/1), Kauto Riko (50/1)

This looks a highly-competitive renewal but BANGERS AND CASH is really progressive now, impressing with the way he took command of the race before showing an excellent attitude when scoring at Market Rasen on Boxing Day, and he shades the vote over Empire Steel, who very much caught the eye on his comeback at Aintree. Rapper and Eva's Oskar are others to consider.
