Hoseki (13/8), Archers Bay (5/2), Pierre Grosse (13/2), King Of Berkshire (8/1), Blue Hercules (10/1), Level Look (18/1), Royal Poetry (25/1), Baltic Fleet (28/1), Ohara (33/1), Last Verse (66/1)
HOSEKI is firmly on the up and is taken to defy a 5 lb rise to complete the 4-timer. Archers Bay finished with running left when short of room at Newmarket last time and rates the main danger, while Level Look has had excuses on his last 2 starts and may still have more to offer.
