Into The Park (6/5), Inca De Lafayette (11/4), Vicki Vale (7/2), Lallygag (11/1), Celtic Art (22/1), Wild Max (25/1), Current Mood (40/1), Wolf Prince (50/1), Now Or Never (100/1)

There should be plenty more to come from INTO THE PARK, who did the job well when opening his account in a Newbury maiden and he has been handed what appears to be a fair mark for this handicap debut. It would be no surprise to see Vicki Vale turn the tables on Inca de Lafayette back down in trip here and she is feared most, while Lallygag is actually the most appealing of the Paul Nicholls-trained trio and is next on the list.
