Fork Lightning represented Grade and Listed chaseform in the contest but was beaten fair and square in the end and the handicapper may just have him.
Run For Paddy holds his form pretty well but is another on a career high rating.
Va Vavoom was trying this 3m for the first time and did not get home. (AK)
