So Deuce (5/4), Grey Cuban (11/2), Qitaal (13/2), Dream Harder (7/1), Tele Red (8/1), Arthur's Realm (17/2), Old Harrovian (9/1), Gloucestershire (10/1), Bodorgan (14/1)

Verdict

SO DEUCE looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up his easy breakthrough Leicester maiden success. Last year's victor Dream Harder should ensure Roger Varian's Lope De Vega colt doesn't have things all his own way however. Tele Red and Gloucestershire also look ready to step forward and should be in the mix in a competitive handicap.

  1. SO DEUCE
  2. DREAM HARDER (IRE)
  3. TELE RED
