Mount Mews (9/4), River Wylde (9/4), Moon Racer (4/1), The Unit (7/1), High Secret (12/1), Pingshou (16/1), Chti Balko (28/1), American Gigolo (50/1), Bulkov (100/1)
MOUNT MEWS has won five of his six starts and this looks to have been the target for some time. His only blip was a disappointing Wetherby run at the start of the season but that can be forgiven and his trainer and jockey have an impressive record when teaming up. The Unit loves quicker ground and avoiding Cheltenham looks like the long term plan. High Secret may prove to be value in the market, he has something to find on form but his trainer may have found the key to him. Moon Racer needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort last time out in the Champion Hurdle.
