Scamallach Liath (13/8), Wrappedupinmay (3/1), Top Cloud (11/2), Zonda (8/1), Micro Millions (8/1), Idefix De Ciergues (16/1), Transmission (18/1), Illogical Logic (28/1), Technology (40/1)

An interesting opener, featuring several unexposed sorts. IDEFIX DE CIERGUES promises to be well suited by this step up to 3m and gets the vote to make a successful switch to handicap company. Wrappedupinmay, Top Cloud, who has thrived since switching to Robbie Llewellyn, and Micro Millions head the many dangers.
