Russet Gold (3/1), Dark Trooper (7/2), Reminder (4/1), Bresson (17/2), Willem Twee (9/1), Bussento (10/1), Capote's Dream (14/1), Redemption Time (16/1), Blind Beggar (20/1), Bonny Angel (20/1), Another Investment (22/1), Dusky Lord (33/1), Kuwait City (40/1)

Verdict

DARK TROOPER is in a rich vein of form and had plenty to spare when scoring over C&D last time, so he's fancied to rack up his fourth win on the bounce at the possible expense of Reminder, who looks promising. Willem Twee is a big player if tuned up following a long absence.
