Largy Poet (4/1), Catch Catchfire (4/1), Sizable Sam (5/1), Art Decco (11/2), Jubilee Express (11/2), Icaque de L'Isle (6/1), Gold Clermont (10/1), Ithaka (18/1)
JUBILEE EXPRESS sets the standard on best form and is taken to bounce back from a disappointing run in the Welsh National. Catch Catchfire is the danger following his improved success in the Surrey National, while Icaque de L'Isle's Lingfield win has been franked and he should hold his own upped in grade.
