An Tobar (5/2), Encanto Bruno (9/2), Farren Glory (11/2), Bialystok (6/1), Horantzau D'airy (7/1), Fascile Mode (9/1), King Of Kingsfield (12/1), What's Up Darling (12/1)

Verdict

AN TOBAR looked a highly exciting prospect when making a winning debut in a C&D maiden with plenty in hand and can take this step up in class in his stride. Encanto Bruno resumed progress when making a winning debut for this yard at Cheltenham in impressive fashion and is next best ahead of Farren Glory, who looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's trio.
