Soul Season (2/1), Urbanist (3/1), Oakfield Rose (3/1), Johnny Sue (3/1), She's Made It (5/1), Fly Round The Bend (8/1), Jimmyjames (14/1), Belle Helene (16/1), Glen's Dd (20/1), Mister Butler (20/1), Kentucky Minstrel (25/1), Island Villa (25/1), Billybuster (33/1)
A fair few of these don't exactly arrive here in good form but that can't be said for SOUL SEASON. Despite being 11 (almost 12) this gelding is fairly lightly-raced, and having run into a lovely bit of form since been sent handicapping recently he shouldn't mind the drop in trip here and has the potential to make it three wins in four starts here. Johnny Sue could be the main danger if improving his jumping while She's Made It may improve now handicapping.
