Ed Keeper (5/2), Butch (7/2), Springwell Bay (9/2), Ikarak (6/1), The Newest One (7/1), My Bobby Dazzler (9/1), Come On Teddy (18/1), Jatiluwih (28/1), Fontana Ellissi (40/1), Shantou Express (80/1)

Verdict

The shortlist comprises three up-and-coming types, namely ED KEEPER, Butch and Springwell Bay, in order of preference. It was hard not to be impressed by the way Ed Keeper went about his business upped to 3m at Newbury and this unexposed 6-y-o looks more than capable of defying a 9 lb rise in the weights. Butch and Springwell Bay, both successful here last time out, shouldn't be far away, though, and Come On Teddy showed enough on his comeback spin to suggest that he retains plenty of ability.

  1. ED KEEPER (FR)
  2. BUTCH
  3. SPRINGWELL BAY
