Grenadier Guard (7/4), Ship Of The Fen (11/4), Nuits St Georges (7/2), Matchmaking (4/1), October Storm (13/2), Imperial Court (13/2), Gwafa (12/1), Graceful Lady (14/1), Toshima (14/1)
There was plenty to like about the way GWAFA ran on his first start back following a long absence when fifth at Sandown recently. He should strip fully fit now and may just get the better of the still unexposed Matchmaking, himself returning from a long lay-off for a yard in cracking form at present. Imperial Court is interesting trying this trip and may improve, while Grenadier Guard is another who could be therabouts taking on older hosres for the first time. Hat-trick seeking Nuit St Georges and top weight Ship Of The Fen might also have their say in an intriguing finale.
- Gwafa
- Nuits St Georges
