Mac's Legacy (9/2), Captain Wallace (9/2), Just In A Bit (5/1), Mister Barclay (6/1), Bertie B (7/1), Jack Sprat (15/2), Iron D'ex (9/1), Myfanwy's Magic (14/1), Awesome Foursome (14/1), Ballynaheer (16/1), Kooky (28/1), Mako Of The Glade (50/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but the vote goes to MISTER BARCLAY who arrives on the back of a very good Wetherby third (form been franked) and promises to be suited by this longer trip too. Course second Iron d'Ex is weighted to have a big say and rated next best, although the likes of Jack Sprat, Ballynaheer and Mac's Legacy all need factoring in too.
