1. Escaria Ten

2. Galvin

3. Lord Royal

Escaria Ten also has the option of the Ultima on Tuesday but regardless of where he shows up, he has strong claims. Although he still has some pounds to find with stablemate Galvin, I think the seven-year-old will prove to be better on these terms. Galvin himself has solid credentials. A safe, if unspectacular jumper, he travels within himself and will be well placed once the race heats up on the final circuit. Lord Royal looks a thorough stayer and is expected to improve for a step up to a marathon trip.
