Marlacoo (3/1), Is This For Real (3/1), King Ulanda (11/2), The Cistercian (11/2), Dream Diamond (17/2), Static (12/1), Goldwyn (12/1), The Egyptian Ginge (16/1), Sunray Shadow (16/1), Notnowlinda (20/1), Phineas Bunce (33/1), Mistral Milly (80/1), Prince Imperial (150/1)

IS THIS FOR REAL has been going the right way and looks to have been given a workable mark ahead of his handicap debut so Fergal O'Brien's gelding is taken to continue on his upward curve and make it back-to-back wins. King Ulanda again shaped well in defeat at Haydock prior to Christmas and he should be in the mix again, with another handicap newcomer The Egyptian Ginge also of interest.
