Gimme Some Luck (11/8), The Bronx Bull (3/1), Gimme A Vodka (4/1), Sherlock Holmes (8/1), Time Is Precious (8/1), Status Symbol (14/1), Kavady (33/1)

Verdict

GIMME SOME LUCK holds a convincing advantage on the form book and is a straightforward selection. Gimme A Vodka could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while The Bronx Bull has place prospects as well.
