Sounds Russian (7/2), Castle Robin (4/1), Does He Know (5/1), Bavington Bob (6/1), Rapid Flight (6/1), Hill Sixteen (14/1), Big River (14/1), Eva's Oskar (16/1), Aye Right (20/1), De Rasher Counter (28/1)

Verdict

Ruth Jefferson's SOUNDS RUSSIAN did nothing but improve over fences last term yet still looks ahead of his mark on his return and is fancied to bag a third course success. Does He Know found Cheltenham's Ultima Handicap too much on his final start but is another set to kick on again this season and rates the chief threat. The likeable duo Aye Right and Bavington Bob appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours in a cracking handicap.

  1. SOUNDS RUSSIAN (IRE)
  2. DOES HE KNOW
