Really Super (15/8), Ya Jammeel (11/4), Star Of Lombardy (9/2), Sputnik Planum (9/2), Sureness (7/1), Craftsmanship (8/1), Avantgardist (25/1)

One of the more interesting handicaps on the night and last time out C&D winner Star of Lombardy must be respected along with Ya Jammeel also worthy of a mention given his recent form and room for improvement. Really Super has looked to be capable of better although there is a worry about her stamina here and finishing effort and both CRAFTSMANSHIP and Sputnik Platinum are of interest. The former has now slipped to a mark where he really should be capable of winning something like this while the latter makes his handicap debut having promised better to come when switched to this sphere.
