The Craftymaster (10/11), Virtual Hug (9/2), Baileys Warrior (7/1), Steel Helmet (7/1), The Resdev Way (15/2), Limelight (20/1), Defence Treaty (25/1), Silver Bobbin (66/1), Bateau Bay (80/1)
THE CRAFTYMASTER opened his account over a staying trip here last time and looks well placed to defy a 2 lb higher mark. Virtual Hug scored over C&D in November and produced another good effort last time, so looks capable of getting in the mix again, alongside Baileys Warrior, who chased the selection home on their previous meeting.
