Dramatic Star (5/1), Wild Waves (6/1), Reaching High (6/1), Too Bossy For Us (15/2), The Equator (10/1), Tactician (10/1), Champagne Prince (10/1), Spaceport (10/1), Tabletalk (12/1), Master Builder (12/1), Sun God (14/1), Going Remote (22/1), Imperial Sovereign (22/1), Mo Ghille Mar (33/1), Tryfan (40/1), Terrorise (50/1)

Verdict

Andrew Balding has a strong recent record in this so it's worth giving another chance to WILD WAVES, who met trouble when one of the market leaders for a valuable handicap over this trip at Haydock last month. The William Haggas-trained Dramatic Star is another who can have a line put through his run in that same Haydock handicap and is second choice ahead of Reaching High and Tabletalk.

  1. WILD WAVES (IRE)
  2. DRAMATIC STAR
  3. REACHING HIGH (IRE)
