Dan Gun (2/1), Clearly Capable (5/1), Overflow (5/1), Hahadi (7/1), Eric The Third (7/1), We'llcwhathappens (11/1), Akkapenko (14/1), Bentons Lad (20/1), Realta Dawn (20/1), Russian's Legacy (25/1), Glengar (25/1), Zoltan Varga (33/1), Black Noah (50/1), Lady Wethered (66/1)
Dan Gun finally got off the mark at Huntingdon this month and represents a stable in super form, ensuring he's on the shortlist despite a 7lb rise. It will be interesting to see how the market judges Russian's Legacy, an 80-1 scorer at Newton Abbot early in the summer that hasn't been spotted since. Eric The Third shaped with more purpose last time and is dropping in the ratings but AKKAPENKO was too keen at Chepstow in his hat-trick bid and, if conserving his energy better, could bounce back in his bid to make it three wins in four starts.
- Akkapenko
- Dan Gun
