Chti Balko (11/2), Wolfcatcher (11/2), Holryale (6/1), Percy Street (13/2), Joke Dancer (13/2), William Of Orange (8/1), Zulu Oscar (8/1), Spectator (17/2), Applesandpierres (10/1), Super Sid (11/1), Sleepy Haven (14/1)
JOKE DANCER has been in good form so far this season and he can record his third C&D victory of the season in this valuable handicap contest. The selection was a winner at Newcastle last time and looks capable of taking this event at the chief expense of top weight Chti Balko who is another to have won over C&D this season. Sleepy Haven placed here back in December and with blinkers applied today he can finish third.
