Not Many Left (15/8), Gun Digger (7/2), Articulum (4/1), Blow By Blow (7/1), Sympa Des Flos (7/1), Roaring Bull (8/1)

Verdict

The improving NOT MANY LEFT can continue to improve on recent efforts here including a facile victory at Navan last month. The Gigginstown pair Gun Digger and Roaring Bull in first-time cheekpieces can hit the frame.
