Hadley (2/1), Groundworker (4/1), Lady Joanna Vassa (6/1), Lackaday (7/1), Red Forever (12/1), Goninodaethat (12/1), See Vermont (14/1), Sunnyside Bob (16/1), Thornaby Princess (20/1), Brendan (28/1)

Verdict

A fierce-some pace is assured with Hadley, Lady Joanna Vassa and Thornaby Princess amongst those who like to go out all guns blazing from the front. Hadley deservedly broke his duck when employing those tactics (uncontested lead) over 6f at Thirsk earlier this month and theoretically should be suited by the drop in trip today. However, this looks cherry ripe for a hold up performer, and the talented but equally frustrating GROUNDWORKER stands out head and shoulders above the others. He's not won since November (at Newcastle), but Paul Mulrennan knows exactly how to handle him, and with the race likely to fall apart late on he looks a very sporting bet from a lowly (and under-rated) perch of just 54.
