Count Bezukhov (1/1), According To Mark (7/2), Hatteen (11/2), Poker (8/1), Brave Hunter (16/1), Shoof Baeed (16/1), Saifo (40/1), Sea And Sun (50/1)
ACCORDING TO MARK left the impression he wasn't at his best when going down to an improving, well-bred filly at Pontefract last month, but it was still a fairly useful effort nonetheless and he's worth another chance to open his account up in trip on first start since being gelded. Hatteen is an obvious threat on form and has hopes of staying the longer trip given he's by Lope de Vega and out of a Galileo mare. Count Bezukhov's Curragh win is working out well and he rates a useful prospect.
