Back To The Thatch (11/4), Greyed A (7/2), Paddy The Oscar (7/1), Alberobello (7/1), Wood Yer (9/1), Umberto D'olivate (10/1), Catching On (12/1), Pine Warbler (12/1), Astigos (16/1), Only Gorgeous (16/1), Kingston (50/1)
This doesn't look hugely competitive on paper and with his unexposed profile, top weight BACK TO THE THATCH is given the vote. Conditions and trip appear to suit Henry Daly's charge and the presence of the champion, who was on board for his only win so far, fuels confidence. Catching On is suited by this sort of slog and is not dismissed after a better effort last time, while old boy Paddy The Oscar retains all his enthusiasm and can't be ruled out of the prizes. Pine Warbler would be interesting if supported, though the toughest challenge to the selection may well come from Greyed A, who can again go well under his penalty.
