Point Break (3/1), Robeam (5/1), Gennady (11/2), Celtic Flames (7/1), Al Kherb (7/1), Ted Veale (12/1), Raashdy (14/1), Bluefortytwo (14/1), Crackdeloust (20/1), Our Lucas (20/1)
From a handicapping perspective it's pleasing to see the veteran Ted Veale and the seemingly troubled Crackdeloust cut some slack, while Point Break possesses more ability than the basic headline statement of "ten-race maiden". However, a far safer approach is to focus upon those horses in better form. Celtic Flames shaped like a certain future winner on his comeback at Hexham 24 days ago (form boosted by stablemate Haul Us In at Ayr on Thursday). However, the preferred choice is the top-weight GENNADY. He made light work of an opening mark of 108 when landing a gamble on handicap debut at Kelso (2m) in October, and could yet have more too offer.
