Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but HERAKLES WESTWOOD still looks ahead of his mark despite going up 5 lb for his recent Windsor victory so gets the vote. Towton Chase runner-up Lord of Thunder heads the list of dangers, with Pic Roc and Toss of A Coin both with the potential to make a mark too.

  1. HERAKLES WESTWOOD (FR)
  2. LORD OF THUNDER (IRE)
  3. PIC ROC (IRE)
