Never Do Nothing (7/4), Tribal Commander (2/1), Desert Friend (4/1), Spirit Of Lund (8/1), The Great Story (16/1), Silkstone (16/1), Play It By Ear (25/1), Cormier (33/1), Chiniak (66/1)

Verdict

Despite only beating three rivals DESERT FRIEND was impressive on his debut and can follow-up here under a penalty. He looked to have plenty of gears at Leicester and he may be tough to crack once more. The Great Story, Spirit Of Lund and Tribal Commander all shaped with plenty of promise and with improvement to come, will all be a danger to the selection. Particularly the last name for who the penny only dropped late on rattling fast ground.
  1. Desert Friend
  2. Tribal Commander
  3. Spirit Of Lund
