Impact Factor (11/10), Game Of War (7/2), Sir Carno (7/2), Great Khan (6/1), Seedorf (40/1), My Manekineko (50/1)

GAME OF WAR is taken to record a first victory over fences in this competitive looking small field beginners event. The selection showed decent form over hurdles and can get the better of Sir Carno who ran well when debuting over the larger obstacles recently. Third place can go the way of Great Khan who is making his debut over fences.
