Walsingham Grange (11/4), Marmont (10/3), Sir Egbert (4/1), Shining Romeo (13/2), Free Stone Hill (9/1), Dyliev (16/1), Charlie Chaplin (25/1), Catcher On The Go (28/1), Royal Beekeeper (33/1), Wenceslaus (40/1)

Verdict

Marmont and Walsingham Grange have been found an easy race as they bid to follow up their recent victories. Sir Egbert and Wenceslaus have shown enough to suggest they have the ability to win a race such as this. Both represent yards who are not afraid to have a tilt at the ring so a market check is advised. Another potential springer is SHINING ROMEO. The six-year-old has been held up a long way off the pace in his recent runs and has failed to get in a telling blow. He has dropped to an attractive mark and the jockey booking looks a sign of intent.
  1. Shining Romeo
