Ragamuffin (15/8), Simply True (10/3), Right Destination (9/2), Helford River (7/1), Wilde Water (9/1), Gerard Mentor (10/1), Oneonechop (14/1), Cheat (14/1), Antidote (33/1), You Owe Me (66/1), Chantecler (100/1)

Though yet to make an impact over hurdles, four-time Flat winner SIMPLY TRUE is of interest now venturing down the handicap route in this sphere off a potentially exploitable opening mark. If the market speaks in his favour, the hint should be taken. Ragamuffin is an obvious threat, while cases can also be made for Right Destination, Helford River and Oneonechop (in that order of preference).
