A typically competitive contest to sort out, there are plenty with chances and enough venturing into handicaps for the first time to prove muddy water from a betting perspective. TED BACH's penultimate run at Tipperary was very encouraging and while he didn't repeat it since, perhaps the booking of the determined Russell can get him to offer his best efforts now and take this prize. Sports Barrow posted a career-best over timber at Perth last time and has to rank a big player while Wee Tiger has also advertised his well-being recently. Emily Square and the improved Cantkidakidder complete the shortlist.
