Wonderwall (6/4), Langley Hundred (15/8), Broomfields Cave (4/1), Exmoor Forest (11/2), Mr Yeats (10/1)

EXMOOR FOREST very much caught the eye, particularly with a view to stepping back up in trip, when runner-up at Ffos Las (19.4f) 2 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left. Still unexposed as a chaser, he earns the vote to build on the promise showed then, with Wonderwall, who is similarly unexposed as a chaser, and recent C&D second Langley Hundred others to consider.
