War In Heaven (2/1), My Dubawi (10/3), Lord Vader (11/2), Gold Medal (13/2), Way To Win (7/1), Robjon (15/2), Atheby (33/1), Buxted Reel (50/1), Youthful King (66/1)

WAR IN HEAVEN had much more in hand than the bare margin suggests when making a winning handicap bow at Lingfield 6 weeks ago so can defy a 3 lb rise and complete the hat-trick. Gold Medal looks a useful prospect on the back of his winning return at Lingfield and rates the main threat on handicap debut. My Dubawi is best of the others.
