Garde des Champs is sure to be popular after his recent breakthrough success over C&D but he may have to play second fiddle to veteran MCGOWAN'S PASS, who hasn't won for a long time but deserves plenty of credit for consistency and signalled he could be ready to strike when going close at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Well Planted and Cirque Royal can battle out third spot.
