At The Oche (9/4), Byzantium (11/4), Akimos (9/2), Mount Anglesby (5/1), Thistle Be The One (13/2), Hobart (8/1), Graham (9/1), Sage Green (11/1), Theatre Of Flight (12/1), John Barbour (14/1)
THISTLE BE THE ONE should have scope from this sort of mark judged on his bumper ability and he might be worth chancing to make a winning start for new trainer Ben Clarke, who got back among the winners at Ffos Las on Tuesday. Byzantium scored back to back in the summer and should go well on his hat-trick bid with Paul Nicholls in good form. Last month's Ffos Las maiden winner At The Oche completes the shortlist.
