The Caller (9/4), Rafafie (5/2), Bold Duke (8/1), Bold Runner (9/1), Ratify (9/1), We'll Be There (10/1), Makethedifference (12/1), Killarney Lakes (33/1), Kingston (40/1), Matts Legacy (66/1)
None of these would be a hugely surprising winner, but perhaps THE CALLER can defy top weight to provide the answer. He makes his handicap debut today on what could prove to be a fair mark, and there could be further improvement in him stepping up in trip. The veteran Ratify is another one to consider given his good chase form if he can get over his poor record over hurdles (which seems likely to be more down to coincidence than genuine preference), as well as the lightly raced We'll Be There.
