Banbridge
Selected at: 9/1

Thought to be a non-stayer over 3m+ initially, Banbridge put those doubts to bed when coming from miles off the pace to win the King George. He is a speedy horse who stays and is improving, so there’s every chance he can hit the frame here. Whether he can beat Galopin Des Champs or not is another question but he will be waited with for one big lunge and if he does stay, then he has a solid shout.
