We said7th of 11, beaten 7¾ at 4/1
TOPTEAM 9/2
TOPTEAM is the only confirmed front-runner, though an uncontested lead counts for less here than it does elsewhere.
TOPTEAM at 9/2, Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy, is the one that stands out. He has already won around this track, handles the ground, with a win from 3 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is weakened last time.
The dangers are WHITCOMBE ROCKSTAR at 13/2 (a course winner) and KING'S CODE at 12/1 (a course winner).
