Jack Channon holds a strong hand with his representatives URBAN LION and Metal Merchant both making plenty of appeal. The latter resumed in top form when taking this race 12 months ago and, though 6 lb higher this time round, he is not passed over at all lightly. However, preference is for his up-and-coming stablemate who had plenty left in the tank when striking on his reappearance on the all-weather in February. Classic is also shortlisted, along with James McHenry and Cogitate.

  1. URBAN LION
  2. METAL MERCHANT (IRE)
