Reveleon (6/4), Houlton (4/1), Poetic Affair (5/1), Secratario (8/1), Seaborough (10/1), Storm Jazz (12/1), Sigrid Nansen (16/1), The Jungle Vip (25/1)

Verdict

The bottom two in the weights look to have the right combination of form and scope to warrant most consideration. Poetic Affair was soundly beaten by two smart Godolphin horses last time, but his handicap mark gives his in-form trainer something to work with. REVELEON comes from another yard who are getting into top gear and he should improve for his reappearance and the chance to go another 2f. Secretario and Houlton appear best of the rest.
  1. Reveleon
  2. Poetic Affair
  3. Secratario
