Verdict
It will be interesting to see how the market favours Back To Ben Alder and Albert Square in a race where few of the newcomers make much appeal, while this is should be easier for Gretton who ran in a decent race at Aintree on his only start (well beaten). Recent Huntingdon winner El Vaquero looked a useful sort on his debut and should be able to defy his penalty for Henrietta Knight.
