Value Theory (2/1), Tinderbox (3/1), Rouge Et Noir (5/1), Senorita (6/1), Annie's Song (7/1), First Crowd (16/1), Shut Up And Dance (40/1), Isemel (50/1)

This can go to Mark Johnston's VALUE THEORY, who looked green but got the hang of things late on to finish third at Kempton last month and with improvement a distinct possibility can get off the mark at the second time of asking. Rouge Et Noir also shaped encouragingly on debut and she seems sure to do better. Tinderbox represents leading connections and market support could prove significant.
