I Like To Move It (3/1), First Street (7/2), Marie's Rock (11/2), Knappers Hill (13/2), Botox Has (7/1), Dashel Drasher (8/1), Brewin'upastorm (12/1), Langer Dan (25/1), Tritonic (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty with chances in a good renewal of this Grade 2. I LIKE TO MOVE IT has raced only around 2m so far but he gives the strong impression he'll stay further and is worth siding with to take the step up from top handicap company in his stride as his Greatwood form looks strong. Marie's Rock got on a roll in the spring and is feared most ahead of Knappers Hill and Brewin'upastorm, who may have won this last year but for coming down at the last.
