Plenty are in with a shout but the vote goes to BLAZE THE WAY who took a big step forward on his handicap debut when going in here and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights. Gordon Elliott's new recruit Music of Tara is next on the list off a handy-looking mark ahead of Thecompanysergeant, Espanito Bello, Lord Erskine and Open To Question.
