This is wide open so it could be worth siding with Olly Murphy's WILSTAR, who is a half-brother no less to the top-class duo Douvan and Jonbon, to make a winning start. Dan Skelton's Settle Down Jill rates the form pick and seems sure to be on the premises, while Colin Hobbs, Times Are Green, Legal Weapon and Big Boy Barney all need factoring in too.
