13th	14	—	Myretown (G) Looked a smart prospect when a runaway winner of this 12 months ago (off 15 lb lower). Prone to the odd mistake, though, and that held him back first 2 starts this term. Stopped quickly trying a mara…	11-F4P0	D R Fox L Russell & M Scudamore	9	69.4kg	8 7/1
9th	15	—	The Doyen Chief (G) Strong-travelling sort who has barely had an off-day in his chasing career so far and found only a lightly-raced type with graded-winning form from his hurdling days too strong at Kempton 17 days ago…	2P5129	Thomas Bellamy A King	9	69.4kg	34 33/1
