One which narrowly misses out is 66/1 shot PHILSON RUN.
I would probably punt the top 3 and a smaller interest on McKelvey and would hope that will give me the winner of the race. Jack High is starting to get too far out in the betting, think only Red Marauder (farce of a race in extreme conditions) and Royal Athlete have won at as big prices in the past 20 odd years. Cloudy Bays probably needs a Foinavon race to win it!
