Pepper Lane won the race for the second time from 20/1 out last year, proving that the midfield runners can pull off an upset in the race. However, form and pedigree point towards the favourites for this race. Baccarat has seen his price drop from 6s to 5/1 during the week, and with the form that he bring into the race, with an impressive performance in his last outing, is justifiably the favourite for Saturday.

Dick Bos has been dominant in recent times, and at 10/1 could be offer some decent value for punters, as will Pearl Ice. Louis The Pious and Spinatrix have both had winning seasons this year, but will have to be at their best this weekend you feel in order to contend with Baccarat and company.

Looking for a field runner, for a repeat of Pepper Lane’s success last year, El Viento and 14/1 is worth a look at, as is Confessional at 16/1. Confessional has not had as strong a season as cold and would have been expected of him, but may be due a strong run this weekend.
