TOM PARK

1. Lord Royal

2. Galvin

3. Snow Leopardess

You have to be the forgiving type to fancy Lord Royal for this but I have long thought he was the perfect type for this race and he appears to have been nurtured through the season after taking a crashing fall on his first chase start. It is worth remembering he was favourite for the Albert Bartlett at one point last season and when he is on song he has tons of class. Galvin clearly has a huge chance and has been laid out for this, while Snow Leopardess looks sure to appreciate this stamina test.
