If there is a fly in the ointment, it's surely the classy but underachieving hurdler Agrapart who could feasibly be revitalised for a belated switch back to the Flat (French winner in 2014). However, the likes of Billy Ray (place claims), the hat-trick seeking mare Graceful Lady and the recent Nottingham winner ORIN SWIFT are more realistic contenders. The selection was a late developer, but has found his feet for the much respected Jonathan Portman. His chance is an all too obvious one with the 5lb claimer Tyler Saunders effectively removing his 5lb winners penalty (Richard Kingscote ridden at Nottingham). Hopefully, he can rack up a sequence of wins.
- Orin Swift
- Graceful Lady
