Eskendash (3/1), One For Billy (9/2), Crackdeloust (11/2), Castafiore (7/1), Helmsley Lad (9/1), Gran Maestro (11/1), Pumaflor (12/1), Ink Master (16/1), Quill Art (20/1), Cape Hideaway (25/1), Buyer Beware (33/1), Back To Balloo (40/1), Brotherly Company (50/1)

Verdict

A tricky start for punters, with doubts over most of the field in one way or another and the suggestion is BACK TO BALLOO. Back on a winning mark and with an extra 7lb off his back, he has conditions to suit and should go very close. At the other end of the age spectrum, both Eskendash and Castafiore have claims, while Helmsley Lad and One For Billy are others likely to be involved at the business end.
  1. Back To Balloo
  2. Helmsley Lad
  3. One For Billy
