Ides Of March (2/5), Usdi Atohi (9/2), Rudi's Apple (7/1), Morning Vietnam (18/1), Celtic Chieftain (22/1), Wise Men Say (50/1), Womp Womp (125/1)

Verdict

IDES OF MARCH continued his progress when readily off the mark in a C&D maiden last time and he's well fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride. Rudi's Apple and Morning Vietnam are closely matched with the selection on form and could be the dangers.
