In depth
Verdict
Stand Aside has the best recent form on offer and is taken as the selection in a pretty moderate contest to open the card. Josh Gifford's runners have been flying of late and Leighton Aspel has been doing a more than adequate job when he has been given the reigns for his boss. Torniquet made a very satisfactory debut at Warwick and is high on the list of alternatives if the trip proves to be beyond the likely favourite at this stage. Scarborough Fair and Master McGrath are others to consider for obvious reasons.
