This Sway (6/4), Lone Soldier (3/1), Classical Sting (9/2), Dino Moon (8/1), Steel Soldier (8/1), Beorma (16/1), Blazing Gaden (20/1)

The market will reveal plenty in this modest handicap with DINO MOON given the tentative vote on the basis that he's surely better than this lowly mark given his looks and pedigree. Steel Soldier is a definite threat on his latest effort, while Dan Skelton perseveres with Beorma, which could be significant.
