Dog Of War (3/1), Tight Call (7/2), Perfect City (7/2), Malangen (8/1), Skiddaw Valleys (17/2), Methag (9/1), Hillary John (20/1), Golden Jeffrey (22/1), Salto Chisco (28/1), Whatthebutlersaw (50/1)

DOG OF WAR appeals as a likely improver now handicapping on the back of wind surgery and gets the nod for the Skeltons, with confidence increased should the market speak in his favour. Perfect City has made a decent start in handicaps and is a likely big danger if seeing out 2½m. Tight Call is also of some interest on his return to action under Richard Johnson.
