TROJAN TALE 7/2
A tricky one to unpick — most of these have barely been seen, so the stable and the booking matter more than the figures.
TROJAN TALE gets the vote at 7/2 for Dan Horsford, ridden by Harry Cobden. Harry Cobden is a 21% rider, and the market makes it favourite.
The dangers are COMMON SENSE at 10/3 and THE WALK at 7/2.
