Its A Sting (11/4), Dark Mahler (4/1), Legal Ok (4/1), Go On Henry (4/1), Fingers Crossed (7/1), Cervin (10/1), Robin Why Not (18/1)
It is hard to enthuse over many of these given their profiles. Dark Mahler catches the eye for his in form yard and given his scope to show more. This trip may be on the short side, a remark which also applies to Go On Henry. FINGERS CROSSED takes risks at his fences but he does tend to get round and his C&D second looks good in the context of this, particularly off a much lower mark.
- Fingers Crossed
- Dark Mahler
- Go On Henry
