Verdict

This is wide open but Fergal O'Brien's TINTINTIN came good last spring and is fancied to build on a recent eye-catching Sandown fourth and open his account for the season. Coral Cup runner-up Impose Toi heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for handicap debutante Listentoyourheart and Irish challenger Western Walk. Off The Jury, Wreckless Eric, Blenkinsop and Wellington Arch also need factoring into this cracking handicap.

  1. TINTINTIN (FR)
  2. IMPOSE TOI (FR)
  3. LISTENTOYOURHEART (IRE)
