Blackheath (13/8), Roussel (5/2), Nine Below Zero (7/2), Encrypted (9/2), Kodiac Express (20/1)

Verdict

On his very best form Roussel would be hard to beat but needs to return from two poor runs in handicaps which were miles below that level. In first-time cheekpieces for his powerful and in-form stable he shouldn't be given up on yet and the smaller field may play to his strengths. Encrypted also boasts very smart ability but was beaten worryingly early at Windsor when BLACKHEATH was well ahead from a much worse draw. In contrast he looks a sprinter still on the up and gets the verdict. Nine Below Zero and Kodiac Express are better known for their exploits over the minimum trip but the latter has looked better suited of the pair by this extra distance.
