Holy Heart (11/10), Matterhorn (5/4), Thaayer (13/2), Middlescence (10/1), Phantasmal (28/1), Al Reef (28/1), Dejan (50/1), The Brora Pobbles (250/1)
A few cast-offs from higher profile trainers, but Thaayer is certainly noteworthy on debut for the in-form Rebecca Menzies. The strike-rate of John Gosden on Newcastle's Tapeta is well documented and that trainer persists with the unexposed and now tongue-tied Holy Heart. However, the penalised MATTERHORN is the most logical option. Prominent racing tactics aren't the easiest over this straight mile, but the Mark Johnston-trained 3yo is unlikely to be found wanting for stamina (was declared over further at the recently abandoned Chelmsford fixture), and he rates as a progressive and likeable individual.
