Il Etait Temps (2/5), Jonbon (6/1), Gidleigh Park (7/1), Thistle Ask (9/1)
IL ETAIT TEMPS cemented his position as the leading 2m chaser with a smooth victory in the Tingle Creek at Sandown last month and his hold-up style should be suited to the likely strong pace here. He should prove hard to beat. Thistle Ask has been a revelation this season and could be the one to provide the chief threat.
