Judicial Deference (5/4), Kent De Thaix (3/1), Jimmy Hurdstrom (11/2), Another High Five (15/2), Noonetellsmenothin (8/1), Tread Softly Now (8/1), Grand Voyage (9/1), Milan Park (14/1), El Jefe (14/1), Wolfspear (40/1)

JUDICIAL DEFERENCE continued the positive start to his career when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock last time, looking very professional for one without much experience, and he can go on to land the hat-trick. Next on the list is Tread Softly Now who is expected to benefit from this step back up in trip, whilst Another HIgh Five rates a likely improver now his stamina is tested further on handicap debut.
