Barton Snow (4/5), Jeffery's Cross (7/4), What A Glance (13/2), Bardenstown Lad (18/1), Rewritetherules (50/1), Prohus Yank (100/1)

The vote goes to BARTON SNOW, who is unbeaten in three hunters and proved his wellbeing when sauntering home in an open point last month. Jeffery's Cross looks rock-solid in this context and he is clearly the main danger, with What A Glance best of the rest.
