Wandering Ego (6/5), Sir Hobnob (7/2), Brace For Landing (9/2), Blue Sky Dreaming (15/2), Park Talk (11/1), Monsieur Jaco (22/1), Kenzoko (22/1), A Law To Himself (25/1), Jaffa Cake (28/1), Fast Work (66/1), Misteroddsocks (80/1), Top Of Off (125/1), Lord Of The Glance (250/1), El Arco (300/1)

Verdict

WANDERING EGO fell a long way short of market expectations sent hurdling after 6 months off at Perth, but is surely worth another chance given the impression he created in a Wetherby bumper back in the spring. Brace For Landing sets a fairly useful standard on his French form on first run for the Skeltons, while Park Talk shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on his hurdling/Rules debut at Fontwell and seems sure to do better.
