Matterhorn (16/5), Aucunrisque (4/1), Manorbank (9/2), Lunar Sovereign (5/1), Aurigny Mill (17/2), Way Out (9/1), Wolf Prince (10/1), Chaos Control (22/1), Princess T (33/1)

Verdict

MATTERHORN has won on both previous outings after wind surgery and is taken to bounce back from a poor run on his Kempton handicap debut over Christmas. Lunar Sovereign should be spot on for this after shaping as if a recent comeback run here was just needed and is second choice ahead of Aurigny Mill.
