Favori De Sivola (10/3), Premier D'troice (5/1), Gazette Bourgeoise (5/1), Raddon Top (5/1), Gwencily Berbas (13/2), The Macon Lugnatic (13/2), Samuel Jackson (7/1), Copperhead (15/2), D'jango (17/2), Coup De Pinceau (16/1)

Given his consistent overall record RADDON TOP can probably be forgiven his slightly disappointing run last time and is taken to bounce straight back returned to the scene of his 4 wins under Rules. Gazette Bourgeoise is starting to look well treated and could pose a threat, while Samuel Jackson is also respected as a former winner of this race.
