Fulham Road (9/10), Empire Burleque (11/8), Officer Milan (8/1), Who Said That (25/1), Difficult Detour (33/1)

Fulham Road is much respected for the champion trainer but enthusiasm has got to be tempered by his long absence following a fall on debut in a point-to-point in 2014. By contrast, EMPIRE BURLEQUE made a pleasing start in that sphere in December to score and can do something similar now in first appearance on the racecourse proper. Officer Milan may be the best of the rest. 1. Empire Burleque 2. Fulham Road 3. Officer Milan
