The Cobbler Swayne (6/4), Onderun (11/2), Havana Jack (6/1), Harry Hunt (13/2), Nakadam (7/1), Voyage A New York (12/1), Titian Boy (12/1), The Orange Rogue (16/1)

Verdict

There are a few in this that are capable of a sound showing on their old form although some of them may well need the run in what are sure to be testing conditions. The Cobbler Swayne is interesting off this mark if he is ready to go and he should be watched in the betting. With Titian Boy and The Orange Rogue in field this should be run at a good pace although they are stable mates and unlikely to take each other on. Nakadam generally needs his first run of the season and this may be a little on the short side for him and with Havana Jack likely to find this a bit too tough a chance is taken with HARRY HUNT. He’s not the most reliable but does travel well and his recent Flat runs may well have been to get him ready for this.
  1. Harry Hunt
  2. The Orange Rogue
  3. The Cobbler Swayne
