5/4
Tends to spoil his chance by racing keenly, and below form this year, but he is a smart handicapper at best, and this represents a massive drop in class, so it will be disappointing if he can't get the job done.

4/1
Won at Haydock in July, but could finish only a respectable fifth of 10 in a Hamilton (1m1f, soft) seller last time. This is not so deep, so he has obvious place claims, but needs to raise his game to win.

9/1
Yet to get his head in front, having been awarded a weak seller at Ripon (1¼m, good) in the stewards' room on his penultimate start. Never dangerous at Hamilton last time, and has a mountain to climb on official ratings.

20/1
Winner of a Gowran Park auction maiden (1m, soft to heavy) for Joseph O'Brien last year, but form for new yard is regressive, and he makes little appeal for all he's sure to handle the conditions.

66/1
Poor form in 2017 for David Barron, and makes his debut for new yard after missing all of last season and most of this. Has nothing to recommend him.

5/2
Remains a maiden, and below form on his last two starts, but he has plenty of form which would give him place claims here, so merits respect, for all he has something to find with the form pick.

25/1
Son of Phoenix Reach who has looked modest at best in three starts to date, albeit with gaps between runs which suggest he's hard to train. May do better, but has little obvious chance of official figures.

Newgate Duchess312

100/1
Soundly beaten in a variety of events to date, and this mare's chances are summed up by an official rating of 28.

Forecasts

Finniston Farm (5/4), Lightning Attack (5/2), Indomeneo (4/1), Knightly Spirit (9/1), Irish Minister (20/1), Littlebitofmagic (25/1), Red Star Dancer (66/1), Newgate Duchess (100/1)

Verdict

FINNISTON FARM is a cut above these rivals, and even though he's struggling for form, he ought to be too good at this lowly level. Richard Fahey's pair Lightning Attack and Indomeneo have solid place claims, but need the favourite to falter if they are to win.
  1. Finniston Farm
  2. Lightning Attack
  3. Indomeneo
