Verdict

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with Nigel Twiston-Davies' new recruit DANCING IN BRAZIL to capitalise on a handy mark and make a winning return. Harry Derham's lightly-raced Norn Iron looks to have better days ahead now handicapping and rates a big danger, while Bucephalus, Lightningupourdays and Knight Templar need factoring in too. Thererisnodoubt completes the shortlist.

  1. DANCING IN BRAZIL
  2. NORN IRON (IRE)
  3. BUCEPHALUS (GER)
