Verdict

Plenty of runners, but probably not that many of them have serious chances. Colonel Custard would be among those who do, while former Grade 1 winner Chambard, newcomer Falco Blitz and easy Irish point-to-point winner Rollercoaster are both worth monitoring for any market confidence. Rapper has the potential to get more closely involved, while Grey Diamond and Discko Des Plages are respected. Preference, however, is for THE SOME DANCE KID, who is improving and may be able to defy a penalty.
  1. The Some Dance Kid
  2. Colonel Custard
  3. Falco Blitz
