Any Second Now (5/4), Velvet Elvis (11/4), Busselton (7/2), Fire Attack (6/1), Hurricane Darwin (40/1)

Verdict

This is clearly on the sharp side for ANY SECOND NOW in what is presumably his final prep run before another tilt at the Grand National. That said, he managed to win over 2m here when warming up for the 2021 Aintree spectacular and should prove much too good for his rivals on these advantageous terms. Velvet Elvis was impressive at Fairyhouse last time and gets the nod ahead of Busselton for forecast purposes.
