Yalltari (13/8), Here's Herbie (7/4), Zulu Oscar (5/1), Billy Hicks (7/1), Dusky Lark (12/1)

Verdict

Venetia Williams' runners seem to all handle heavy ground and YALLTARI has an excellent chance if as effective on this ground as he was on soft at Hereford. He has been hit hard by the handicapper but has been found an excellent opportunity by his trainer here. Veteran Here's Herbie ran quite well on return and is now 7lb below his last winning mark so ought to go well. Dusky Lark's last win came on heavy so better is expected of him here.
  1. Yalltari
