Bollingerandkrug (4/5), Duty Calls (5/1), Sao (5/1), Cedar Hill (5/1), Sword Of Fate (33/1)

BOLLINGERANDKRUG left his previous form in this sphere well behind when scoring over C&D last time, impressing with the way he tackled his fences and putting daylight between himself and the runner-up, who was bidding for the hat-trick. He looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise in the weights on that evidence. Sao and Cedar Hill are both lurking on appealing marks and are feared most in that order of preference.
