Sir Rock (10/11), Baddesley (7/2), American Gerry (9/2), Elpologreg (13/2), Executive Pool (22/1), Nathan Walker (25/1)

SIR ROCK hasn't looked back since sent over fences and a 4 lb rise for his latest Fontwell victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a hat-trick. Fakenham-scorer Elpologreg appeals as the one to chase home Toby Lawes' 7-y-o ahead of the enigmatic Baddesley.
