Redemption Time (10/11), Razzam (5/2), Stunt Game (4/1), Tabsheer (10/1)

An interesting novice despite the small field and a case can be made for any of the quartet. STUNT GAME shaped well when second at Catterick on debut 2 weeks ago, and he gets a tentative nod, though Redemption Time has run to a similar level and remains with potential himself after third-placed finishes at Newbury and Ascot. Razzam is the more interesting newcomer and market support for him would bring him right in to the mix.
