Thought I’d start this one up - the last one of course too.

The others can be found here with our very first one looking somewhat decent:

I think it would be fitting to end with a ‘bankers’ yankee. Our strongest fancies to win any race, at any prices.

So I’m asking for your 4 horses you are most confident of winning - in order if possible.

We need to consider prices here and whether this is a win or ew yankee.
Certainly couldn’t criticise Tiger Roll as a selection but questionable whether anyone would play him ew at the current price...

Thanks! Might have to do this now regardless of the vote outcome...
 
Assuming we are going win only, I'll go in order of confidence of certainties.
QMCC - Altior (too short for this?), XC - Tiger Roll, GC - Presenting Percy, Mares - Benie de Dieux

But, I sense not much value there...

Cilaos Emery,
Benie De Dieux,
Presenting Percy,
Klassical Dream.
3 of Willie's and the green certainty. Though I also wouldn't be averse to Monalee ahead of KD.
 
Tiger Roll (XC)
Topofthegame (RSA)
Cilaos Emery (Arkle)
Benie Des Dieux (MH)

In Order
