Warp Factor (9/4), Archippos (4/1), Michael's Mount (7/1), Croquembouche (8/1), Gabrial's Star (17/2), Modernism (10/1), Subcontinent (10/1), Top of The Glas (10/1), Alcatraz (12/1), St Mary's (14/1), Nabhan (25/1), Tobacco Road (28/1)

Verdict

Much depends on whether MICHAEL'S MOUNT is on a going day, but when he settles in his races, he shows he has ability and would be capable of winning this if up to his best. Subcontinent looks like he is on a fair mark returned to this sphere and there could be more to come from Archippos who is on a fair mark.
  1. Michael's Mount
