KING OF BERKSHIRE 2/1
KING OF BERKSHIRE is the only confirmed front-runner, though an uncontested lead counts for less here than it does elsewhere.
KING OF BERKSHIRE at 2/1, Andrew Balding and Callum Hutchinson, is the one I keep coming back to. He drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 3, beaten 3.25L, drops to Class 4, was staying on at the finish last time and has the right side of the draw.
The dangers are ARAVALLI at 11/2 (a course winner) and GREAT BEDWYN at 10/1 (well handicapped).
