Verdict

Claims can be made for a host in an ultra-competitive handicap with the narrow vote in favour of THEATRE MAN. He's twice shaped well following his switch to chasing, deserving of extra credit for how freely he raced when third at Newbury 38 days ago, and with the drop back in trip holding no fears, he can confirm himself on a good mark. Ginny's Destiny is going from strength-to-strength and feared. Prairie Wolf, at longer odds, and Blow Your Wad complete the shortlist.

  1. THEATRE MAN (IRE)
  2. GINNY'S DESTINY (IRE)
  3. PRAIRIE WOLF (IRE)
