Verdict

A few of these are of interest given their recent form and/or profiles, including Cake de L'Isle, who got off the mark at Market Rasen last time and could improve significantly, and the consistent Mizen Master, who has never been out of the places since joining Olly Murphy. A chance is taken, however, on THE MIGHTY DON. Nick Gifford's charge was very much thrown in at the deep end at Sandown on handicap debut at the end of the last season when running a creditable race but in all likelihood getting outclassed. This looks to be a much more realistic target for a horse who has shown form both in bumpers and novice hurdles. Vivas and Eaton Hill are others who should be in the mix.
  1. The Mighty Don
  2. Cake de L'Isle
  3. Mizen Master
