Nortonthorpelegend (1/1), Houndscourt (6/1), Kilmacallogue Bay (7/1), Hattons Hill (9/1), Shaiyzar (12/1), Frank The Slink (12/1), Glenrua (12/1), Gogo Baloo (20/1)
Moderate fayre, where caution is again advised. Houndscourt dotted up at Market Rasen and a literal interpretation of that form should make him a confident choice to follow up from 8lb higher. However, he has had even previous chances to record back-to-back wins and not managed to do so, so we'll look elsewhere and side with NORTONTHORPELEGEND. He may not be the force of old, but looks worth sticking with this time, despite a penalty, now that he is back in form. Hattons Hill is considered, given his current mark and blinkers to possibly galvanise him, while Frank The Slink could pick up some prize money.
