5 Hydra won in the V75 at Årjäng this summer and has a nice task here. Can open fast and is our slight favourite for the lead. Good chance if so.

6 Wilhelm Tell benefits a lot from the elimination. Has been consistent and good in the end and is ridden this time by Jepson. Early challenger.

1 Simb Rooney is not bad at all and comes from victory but where does he go from here?

2 Alameda we rank up a bit after a strong second place finish last time at Bjerke. Perfekt lane here.

3 Global Concept scored three straight wins in France. He hasn't started for two months and may not be in top form yet, but he should have a good chance against this type of opposition.

7 Eclipse As is the main challenger. Won the Breeders' Crown final last year but has not won so far this year. Has enough potential to challenge our pick.

5 Reven Dejavu makes his debut for a new trainer. Mainly a place bet.

4 Idomenio Sisu competes with an American bike now. Has not been at his best lately.

2 Loes Simoni finished well in the last race and has been scratch after that but if he hasn't lost too much he could very well win this wide open race.

6 First Lady Ghill got a much needed run under the belt in the last race and with that that run under his belt the filly is ready to take her first win.

11 Hankypanky Bellini has a tough starting position but is developing and clearly has the speed to overtake everyone.

7 A Perfect Feeling is speedy and will challenge for the top places if she behaves.
