Verdict
The rock-solid ERNST BLOFELD shoulders top weight, but that's justifiable. Dual AW novice scorer Oursin is the danger
Ernst Blofeld
Betting Forecast:
3/1 Oursin,
4/1 Ernst Blofeld,
Wardlaw,
5/1 Circus Of Rome,
6/1 Tiernan,
8/1 Teumessias Fox,
14/1 Dark Moon Rising,
20/1 Folk Pageant,
50/1 High Point
