Barton Snow (11/10), A Jet Of Our Own (11/4), Envious Editor (15/2), Kansas Du Berlais (8/1), Bobbarelli (12/1), Franigane (18/1), Missed Tee (40/1)
BARTON SNOW made a successful hunter debut in quite stylish fashion at Stratford in March and should prove at least as effective back at 2m given how he went through the race, so he's a confident selection to follow up. A Jet of Our Own took this race last year and has to be respected based on his form, though he may find conditions placing too much emphasis on speed this time around. Franigane may prove best of the rest.
