Rashdan (4/1), Houlton (9/2), Francophilia (5/1), Top Notch Tonto (5/1), Snookered (13/2), The Blues Master (10/1), Alfa McGuire (10/1), Archive (12/1), Zabeel Star (20/1), Orsino (25/1)
Not many of these come here at the top of their game and a creative approach may be needed but it won’t be a surprise if Bran Ellison takes this with all his three representatives having a chance. Top Notch Tonto features on a handy mark having hinted at a return to form earlier in the week with Snookered and C&D winner Archive both meriting respect. Houlton returns to his chosen surface (booking of Andrea Atzeni a plus) if he gets the test of stamina that he needs at this trip. Both Orsino and THE BLUES MASTER return from significant breaks, the former has gone well fresh before but it’s the well weighted (on his hurdles form) latter who gets the vote especially if there is market support.
- The Blues Master
- Snookered
- Orsino
