Mahlervous (9/4), Midnight Shadow (4/1), Dubai Angel (13/2), Faithful Mount (15/2), Rainbow Dreamer (8/1), Notwhatiam (9/1), Jetstream Jack (12/1), Jet Set (18/1), Ch'tibello (20/1), Tawseef (33/1), Uptown Funk (33/1)
Unexposed five-year-old MAHLERVOUS chases home a smart flat horse who looked very well handicapped at Cheltenham on his first run and that effort hinted that there might be more to come so he gets the vote here for Warren Greatrex. Notwhatiam has made rapid progress since joining Dan Skelton and remains on the up so is an obvious danger. Rainbow Dreamer has been off an awfully long time but appeals as a well handicapped horse if his fitness holds up.
