Imperial Measure (3/1), Chankaya (4/1), King Of The Road (9/2), Irlandais (6/1), Mini Yeats (8/1), Tribesmans Glory (9/1), Getuptheyard (11/1), Citizen Jane (22/1), Diamand De Vindecy (25/1), Dora's Addrezz (33/1), Bruce Gobbler (40/1), Russies Dream (50/1), Gardons La (66/1)
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and KING OF THE ROAD appeals as a likely improver for the in-form Ben Pauling team now stepping into handicaps so gets the nod. Chankaya reverts to this sphere on a handy-looking mark having made mistakes on his recent chasing bow at Wincanton and is next on the list ahead of Ryan Potter's new recruit Citizen Jane.
