A host in with chances but the vote goes to SAM'S XPRESS, who bounced back to form to take advantage of a much-reduced mark over C&D recently and remains well handicapped on old form following a 6 lb rise. I'm Spartacus, Crystal Luna and My Girl Sioux are just a handful of possible threats in a tricky opener to solve.
