West End Charmer (3/1), Pablo Escobarr (7/2), Living Legend (4/1), Fearless Warrior (9/2), Blood Eagle (5/1), Robert L'Echelle (13/2), Just Hubert (25/1)
A nice bunch line up for this but stable form makes the claims of both Fearless Warrior and Just Hubert a lot less obvious. Pablo Escobarr is in very good hands, but for a horse of his enormous stature he may not be as fit as others. Mark Johnston is doubly represented and it looks significant that Franny Norton opts for LIVING LEGEND who is proven to be fit and who is bred to improve further over this trip. It is hard to knock his form to date and the handicapper has been fair. Blood Eagle and Robert L'Echelle are two more progressive types who look fairly treated, particularly the latter who had a lot in hand last time and will do even better over middle-distances.
