4/1

Promising individual. Won 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/1) on debut, overcoming positional bias. Off 163 days and expected to leave bare form behind, so he's a major player.

Brize Norton (10/11), Believe The Storm (4/1), Ashen (6/1), Ribenska (15/2), Dannick (8/1), Karthala (12/1), Read All About It (25/1), Maximising (66/1), Marmalade Kid (80/1), Yielding To None (100/1), Kittens Gift (100/1), Havanita (125/1), Apple Of My Eye (150/1), Analytical Engine (200/1)

BELIEVE THE STORM has to give lumps of weight away but there was a lot to like about his winning debut at Wolverhampton in December so he may well be up to the task. Brize Norton progressed nicely at 2 yrs and is well drawn to adopt a prominent position, with Karthala likely to be a different proposition this time.
