No less than 20 go in the opener but to be honest not many have a chance, so it should pay to those who have shown a glimmer of recent form. Into that category fall the likes of Tantric, Santiburi Lad and Efidium. The latter has put in one or two fair efforts of late and is due to make a quick reappearance after turning out at Beverley on Friday evening. Santiburi Lad has been improving with each run and strictly on the form-book should safely turn the tables on Tantric who beat him a neck at Carlisle 10 days ago but is now much worse off at the weights. The rest make little appeal.
