Where's Tom (2/1), Devizes (3/1), Potenza (11/2), Ministerial (11/2), Renardeau (8/1), Arctic Sea (8/1), Cry Wolf (50/1), Viaduct (50/1)

Verdict

POTENZA has admittedly failed to shine on his 4 previous starts on the all-weather, but this will be his first attempt on polytrack and the 5-y-o will be a tough nut to crack if he takes to this surface. Indeed, he put in a good shift over hurdles last month and resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark. Handicap-debutant Ministerial is second choice ahead of Where's Tom and Devizes.

  1. POTENZA (IRE)
  2. MINISTERIAL
  3. WHERE'S TOM
