Dragon De La Tour (4/1), Beggar's Wishes (9/2), Camron De Chaillac (5/1), Ryeolliean (6/1), Hill Fort (13/2), Hear The Chimes (8/1), Xhale (9/1), Sarpech (10/1), Vocaliser (12/1), Sunday Central (12/1), Intifadah (25/1), Oskar Denarius (33/1), Miss Benefitz (33/1), Tornado Watch (50/1), Petrucci (100/1)

The first of two tricky handicaps on the card and there are quite a few that could be of interest. Ryeolliean is hard to ignore given his falling mark and drop in grade and there remains a suspicion that Dragon De La Tour is capable of winning a race like this. Hear The Chimes looks to have conditions to suit if he can back up his Ludlow run last time out while Hill Fort will make his handicap mark count soon. Beggars Wishes may well find it harder to follow up his Bangor win here and given that CAMRON DE CHAILLAC ran into a real handicap blot last time out and remains unexposed he could just turn out to be the best of these in a tough heat.
