Buttercup (7/4), Wolf Sword (9/4), Grove Silver (9/2), Spanish Fleet (6/1), Clan Legend (9/1)

Only five runners but not the easiest to solve, especially as there's plenty of competition for the lead. The one that doesn't need to lead is BUTTERCUP, who has really found form after her disappointing Wincanton effort back in January. She has no issues with trip or ground and can take this race by the scruff of the neck early in the straight. Grove Silver impressed on his latest start and can't be allowed too much rope up front, and can fill the places out along with Wolf Sword.
