Dragon Sun (9/4), Knowing Glance (4/1), Lucky Lodge (8/1), Critical Thinking (8/1), In The Cove (9/1), Woodside Wonder (10/1), Nezar (11/1), Bobby Wheeler (12/1), Smokey Lane (28/1)
The trio of Critical Thinking, Nezar and Lucky Lodge are respected, but are in against less exposed rivals. Woodside Wonder finished narrowly behind Nezar recently when giving that rival almost a stone. He is considerably better off at the weights so should reverse the form and run a big race. In a race full of known quantities though, ready preference is for DRAGON SUN who does need to prove his wellbeing after a long absence but could still be a fair way ahead of this mark. The form of his second when last seen has since been well advertised by the winner, and this progressive colt can make a winning reappearance.
