PERSEUS WAY 11/4
PERSEUS WAY at 11/4, Tristan Davidson and Rowan Scott, is the one I make it. He is a twice-winner over this course, drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 3, beaten 2.75L, drops to Class 5 and comes from a yard in good heart at 40%.
The dangers are SPANISH HUSTLE at 10/1 (a course winner) and EBONY MAW at 10/1 (went close off this mark).
