Impose Toi (2/1), Caithness (5/1), Belgoprince (7/1), Brook Bay (10/1), Donnacha (12/1), Downtherefordancin (14/1), Tintintin (14/1), Showman (14/1), Sequoiaspirit (14/1), Artistic Endeavour (18/1), Innatendue (20/1), Mr Mackay (22/1), Kitsilano (28/1), Redbridge Rambler (28/1), Barometer (28/1), Mac's Xpress (33/1), En Avant (33/1), Warm In Gorey (50/1)

Verdict

A cracking handicap to conclude. An opening mark of 110 could underestimate BROOK BAY so he's the suggestion with improvement on the cards. Fellow unexposed sorts Caithness, Artistic Endeavour and Tintintin are likely threats, while Showman may prove best of the Irish contingent.

  1. BROOK BAY (IRE)
  2. CAITHNESS (IRE)
  3. ARTISTIC ENDEAVOUR
