Valentine Boy (11/4), The Dark Baron (10/3), Man Of Desert (4/1), Influential (5/1), Dannick (17/2), Bubbles Wonky (10/1), Grey Soul (12/1), Cephalus (33/1)

Verdict

GREY SOUL won readily at Newcastle with first-time blinkers in October and shaped well over C&D previously so holds strong claims if ready to go on debut for a new yard. Influential was too keen on his reappearance at Nottingham 16 days ago, shaping as if better for the run, and can improve. The Dark Baron could get his own way out in front and also looks set to run well.
