A Tail Of Intrigue (2/1), Calin Du Brizais (5/2), Patricktom Boru (11/4), Dawnieriver (5/1), Beuvron (6/1), Royals And Rebels (8/1), Strumble Head (10/1)

A Tail Of Intrigue represents a yard to be feared around here but his form has always made him appear lacking in gears . This longer trip will help but he may be vulnerable to a pacier type such as PATRICKTOM BORU. Evan Williams' charge had been going well in point-to-points prior to excellent runs here and at Stratford. He looks potentially better handicapped than Calin Du Brizais who was comfortably held off this mark last time, but who will appreciate a return to this course and distance.
