Verdict
There are question marks surrounding most of these but Solway Blue caught the eye on his reappearance at Market Rasen and wouldn't be without a chance. Lisbon Lion has hinted at ability and is another to consider but there may be more to come from AGRICULTURAL. Lucy Normile's five-year-old was no great shakes on the level but promises to do better over hurdles and ran his best race so far when fourth at Kelso last month when finishing a long way clear of Hotgrove Boy.
