Secret Investor (6/5), Chef Des Obeaux (11/8), Duke Debarry (10/1), The Devils Drop (12/1), Royal Magic (25/1), The Lion Dancer (100/1)

Verdict

There did not appear to be any fluke about Royal Magic's win at 66-1 at Towcester, but he has to concede weight all round in a better contest and is not hard to oppose. Chef Des Obeaux represents a top team and has to be of interest along with stable companion Duke Debarry, but SECRET INVESTOR has been brought along quietly and looks ready to strike after a good effort at this track last time.
