Kitzbuhel (13/8), Wendigo (5/2), Salver (7/2), Thomas Mor (12/1), Blueking D'oroux (12/1), Crest Of Fortune (12/1)
The fact WENDIGO is likely to be suited by the return to 3m tips the vote his way over Kitzbuhel, who seemingly had his stamina stretched on his only hurdle outing over this trip. Blueking d'Oroux is another likely to have a say if proving fully effective back up in trip.
