Computable (2/1), Longroom (4/1), Pearl Noir (4/1), One Boy (11/2), Apricot Sky (13/2), African Friend (10/1)
A small field, but not overly easy to find the winner. Pearl Noir will be the pace angle and he continues to run fairly well on the whole without ever likely to be necessarily progressive, whilst the top-weight Longroom is noted dropping back into a Class 5 handicap. However, in an open looking race we'll take a punt on the feasibly handicapped AFRICAN FRIEND, and simply hope that the application of the hood helps to eradicate his tendency to start tardily.
