KING OF ITHACA 12/1
KING OF ITHACA at 12/1, James Tate and Rob Hornby, is the one that stands out. He races off a mark 1lb below the 72 it won off and comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.
The one worry is off the track a while.
The dangers are ASH WEDNESDAY at 11/1 (a course winner) and HAVANAGREATTIME at 40/1 (well handicapped).
