Piri Massini (4/7), Behindthelines (13/8), Auldthunder (25/1), Younoyounoyouno (28/1), Colrockin (100/1)

Verdict

BEHINDTHELINES and Piri Massini stand head and shoulders above the rest on form with marginal preference for the former who appears to be going the right way and could well improve a touch for this step up in trip. Piri Massini is a fair sort and should make a bold attempt to concede 6lb to the selection in what may develop into a tactical affair. The unexposed Younoyounoyouno may win races in time but will have to significantly raise his game to trouble the anticipated main protagonists here.
