Petit Palais (5/4), Maybe Today (4/1), Wohileh (4/1), Verdana Blue (6/1), Early Summer (8/1)
Verdana Blue has some really smart form over hurdles and is normally a strong traveller. She could go well on her belated flat start but this could just be a pipe-opener for her before she goes back over hurdles. PETIT PALAIS was an expensive purchase and sprinted away from his rivals at Wolverhampton last time. He can take this on route to better things.
