Roi De France (6/4), Mount Athos (7/2), Heathcliff (5/1), Local Hero (15/2), Popmaster (15/2), King's Lynn (28/1), Nikovo (28/1), Willem Twee (40/1), Golden Mind (40/1)
Lots with chances in a cracking handicap but it's hard to side against the improving ROI DE FRANCE who signed off for 2024 with an excellent second in listed company here (form working out well) and can take another step forward on his return with few miles still on the clock. James Tate's Mount Athos is feared most in his bid to complete a hat-trick of wins in this contest, with Local Hero, Nikovo and Heathcliff all in the picture too.
