Allibaba (2/1), Affordale Fury (5/2), Wasthatok (3/1), Walkonthebriteside (7/1), Soldante (12/1), Spitalfield (20/1), Jack Venturi (33/1), Spanish John (33/1), Cherry Red (33/1), Pickanumber (50/1), Sonny Fella (50/1), Carlas Big Jim (125/1)

Verdict

Although his pedigree is nothing out of the ordinary, ALLIBABA should have enough speed for this sort of test and his stable is dominant in this sphere, so he gets the nod over fellow newcomer Affordale Fury, with Wasthatok the clear pick of those with experience.
