Verdict
The market indications are unlikely to shed any light on this and it really does represent a minefield for punters. The shortlist includes Green Line, Compton Dynamo, Takes Tutu and Northern Desert. However, Movie King has done very little wrong and may represent some good each way value in a heat that the placed horses may return at decent odds. Eric Le Beau is also going the right way and should not be too lightly dismissed.
