Albert Finney (1/1), Caplin (3/1), Thunderoad (13/2), Paradise Boy (7/1), Natsovia (12/1), Time Immemorial (20/1)
PARADISE BOY should appreciate the return to this distance and he is taken to make a winning handicap debut for a stable with a 50% strike-rate (5/10) in recent weeks. Albert Finney represents a leading stable and he can finish runner-up on his first handicap appearance while third can go to Natsovia, the sole filly in the line-up and a winner here last time out.
