Protagonist (6/5), Savvy Victory (11/5), Moving Light (11/2), Chichester (6/1)

PROTAGONIST made a promising start for William Haggas when fourth at Sandown and can open his account for his new yard at the chief expense of Chichester, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when down the field in the John Smith's Cup at York and can bounce back here.
