Sponsors Ladbrokes are unable to separate the red jacketed Stardom and the defending champ Shotgun Bullet who are 9-4 joint favourites for next Saturday morning’s Golden Jacket Final at Crayford.

The three semi finals went almost to form – Affleck Bolt was expected to take a qualifying place that went to kennel mate Goldies Hotspur though two of the three were decided in photo finishes and the last going to a dead heat.

Full betting: 9-4 Shotgun Bullet, Stardom, 10-3 Towcester Story, 9-2 Savana Winner, 7-1 Goldies Hotspur, 50-1 Headford Maurice.
