Triopas (15/8), Ice Konig (7/2), Monderon (5/1), Two Hoots (11/2), Boss In Boots (7/1), Civitesses (8/1), Culm Counsellor (10/1), Mount Vesuvius (12/1), Here Comes Molly (14/1)

A weak race where it might be worth taking a chance on TRIOPAS following another drop in the weights and with his stable's runners going well. Mount Vesuvius should do better now freshened up and if he can run to something like his best then he is on a decent mark. Boss In Boots looks well treated on his old hurdles form, though you couldn't be dogmatic about him reproducing it right on cue for this return to the smaller obstacles.
