Ballymillsy (5/4), Blackjack Kentucky (5/1), Crossley Tender (15/2), Just A Sting (8/1), Cyclop (9/1), Ramses De Teillee (11/1), Point Of Principle (14/1), Tobefair (14/1), Hogan's Height (25/1)

Verdict

BALLYMILLSY looks the type to make a better 5-y-o and he should be well forward for this return, so he gets the nod ahead of Blackjack Kentucky who was last seen making all Chepstow in April. Tobefair is the only one with a recent run in him, which should count for plenty, so he's hard to discount from a falling mark.

  1. BALLYMILLSY
