Smooth Ryder (4/7), Margaret Beaufort (11/8), Sexy Rexy (9/4), Steven Seagull (11/1), Vitani (18/1)

SMOOTH RYDER again found only one too good on his latest start over 10f here 7 days ago and, well on top of the remainder then, he gets the nod to deservedly open his account now his stamina is tested further. Sexy Rexy can emerge as the chief threat.
