Top Of The Charts (6/4), Earth Prince (7/2), Colonel Custard (9/2), Ruffling Feathers (10/1), Colonel Miller (11/1), Leaving Home (14/1), Imperial Elixir (16/1), Railroad Junkie (22/1), Personal Coach (25/1), Pepperdew (25/1), Gaelic Poet (33/1), Gibb Hill (33/1), Hymn And A Prayer (40/1), Dancing Hearts (50/1), Puzzle Cache (50/1), Finch Fancy (100/1)

Verdict

The Nicholls newcomer Earth Prince has to be of some interest here, but it often pays to side with experience in these contests and COLONEL CUSTARD ran a nice race on debut at Taunton last time, and there's every chance that Nicky Martin's charge can improve on that effort to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Of the others making their debut, Top Of The Charts makes most appeal.
  1. Colonel Custard
  2. Earth Prince
  3. Top Of The Charts
