Esspeegee (6/5), Best Example (3/1), Something Brewing (7/2), Henpecked (13/2), Leonard Thomas (8/1), Jersey Jewel (12/1), Highwayman (12/1), Flying Power (16/1), Mangata (25/1)

Verdict

Question marks against the vast majority of these runners, and a number of them simply can't win. Esspeegee is on a winning streak, and should be thereabouts off a 3lb higher mark than for his recent C&D success, but he's likely to be well found in the market, so there promises to be just a whiff of value to be found elsewhere. Best Example will appreciate dropping back to 1m4f, but small stakes are played on the mare HENPECKED. She is consistent enough (without being a regular winner), and will benefit from dropping from Class 4 handicaps into Class 6 company. Her current mark is fair, and she has some reasonable placed form at this track (1m2f and 1m4f) on her CV.
