Border Victor (3/1), The Sting (4/1), Dulce Panem (6/1), Gallows Point (8/1), No Trumps (8/1), Mid Day Gun (8/1), Leopard (12/1), Leverock Lass (20/1), Wishing Well (20/1), Capmonfor (25/1), How Much Is Enough (125/1)

Verdict

A very winnable contest. The likes of Border Victor and the 31-race maiden Dulce Panem have acquitted themselves reasonably well of late and are perfectly capable of figuring in the mix, whilst the Oliver Greenall-trained Mid Day Gun is a definite player on the basis of his penultimate start at Carlisle. However, you'd like to believe that there's more to come from the steadily progressive mare NO TRUMPS. She lacks a change of gear, but with the ground forecast to be riding on the soft side that mightn't be all that relevant this afternoon. Furthermore, her trainer Charlie Longsdon has a respectable strike-rate (19-89; 21%) at this Yorkshire venue.
  1. No Trumps
  2. Mid Day Gun
  3. Border Victor
