Apache Pilot (15/8), Solid Strike (3/1), Ueueteotl (6/1), The Road Home (15/2), Cornish Warrior (8/1), Bocasien Desbois (10/1), Allez Cool (16/1), Kings Eclipse (25/1)

First thoughts are that Apache Pilot got just the right sort of tune-up for this with a second here last week and he’s in prime position in an attempt to retain his crown off this mark. He may just have run into one whose better handicapped though in ALLEZ COOL who looks equally well treated if not better on his past form having been given a break since making his comeback here 46 days ago. Southern raider Cornish Warrior has to be respected given he’s going to be sharper now after a run while Solid Strike and The Road Home represent two other solid propositions both having shown they are capable at this level.
