Cabragh's chance here may all depend on shaking off Carli King early on, and if he doesn't, he may well sulk again as he did last time out at Bangor. That may leave the door open for the improving PITHIVIER, who will surely be winning sooner rather than later. He's got ground to make up on Cabragh but has every chance of doing so under the revised weights today. Gary Charm is getting the hang of things now he's been given headgear and may well get in the places, as might Beggars Cross, who may improve again. 1. Pithivier 2. Gary Charm 3. Beggars Cross
