Off To A Flyer (8/15), The Carpenter (7/4), Seismic Wave (7/1), Starevitch (8/1), Back Yourself (12/1), El Rio (12/1), Russies Dream (66/1), Bellissimo Milan (100/1), Twp Stori (100/1), Molly's Angel (125/1), Wellwillya (150/1)
OFF TO A FLYER was an expensive purchase after winning his sole outing in points and has progressed in each of his 3 starts under Rules, finishing third at Kempton last time despite being unsuited by the drop back in trip. He can open his account this time around, though The Carpenter isn't taken lightly on his first run for Nicky Henderson. Seismic Wave completes the shortlist.
