Forecasts

Conyers Hill (10/3), Time To Rocco (7/2), Skradin (9/2), Showman (6/1), Mary's Pride (7/1), On The Tide (8/1), Grange Walk (14/1), Pakens Rock (20/1), Poets Cottage (25/1), Premier Queen (25/1), Young Lucy (33/1), Quirt Evans (80/1)

Verdict

SHOWMAN pulled clear with a subsequent winner when scoring a shade cosily under this rider at Roscommon 6 weeks ago and is potentially on a good mark on handicap debut in this sphere. Grange Walk, Conyers Hill and Skradin are others to consider.
