Hate to be boring bombus, but I think the 2 previous winners are the best chances - Efficient and Viewed. I don't think it is a very strong Cup this year with few overseas raiders for a change.

The knockout chances are Speed Gifted and Daffodil.

Cheers,

Lohnro, Efficient broke my heart two years ago, and Viewed broke my heart last year, so there is a lot of pain there for me... I will have to throw them in.

Pins, I was going to say the same thing about Vigor but he is number 32 in the list, so he's not in the field yet. I do like your pick too. As Lohnro said, it's not a strong cup, so I have a feeling this could be the year for 5yo geldings.

I love Efficient, I hate Viewed. C'Est La Guerre is headed for a good one in my opinion.
