Boychick (5/2), Glorious Asset (5/2), Paper Faces (4/1), John Caesar (4/1), King Oswald (15/2), Commissar (12/1), General Brook (16/1), Ferryview Place (20/1), Ifan (20/1), Just For Show (100/1)
Boychick, Ifan and Paper Faces are all likely to want a piece of the lead so we shouldn't be short of pace in the race. That could play into the hands of JOHN CAESAR who likes to come fast and late and his apprentice jockey is worth his 5lb claim. Glorious Asset is another who has a talented claimer well worth his 5lb and he proved he was still in good form last time. The aforementioned Boychick has gone up 4lb but is likely to remain competitive if returning in the same form as at the start of the year.
1. John Caesar
2. Glorious Asset
3. Boychick
