Low Sun (4/6), Silver Star (4/1), Skeaping (7/1), Artful Artist (10/1), The Brassmoulder (12/1), Papal Motel (14/1), Shinghari (16/1), Castle Guest (16/1), Play The Game (20/1), Felix Mendelssohn (25/1), Lex Talionis (33/1), Jack Wade (50/1), Love The Well (66/1), Im Waiting (66/1), Ventura Boulevard (80/1), Grallagh (100/1), Askance (100/1), Easy Boy (100/1)
Could be a battle for the lead in the early stages with Play The Game, Ventura Boulevard and Skeaping vying to set the pace. Papal Motel, has been a runner-up on four occasions since the spring. Silver Star has been in good heart and has first-time tongue-tie/hood combination today, along with Skeaping who should go well but preference is for newcomer, LOW SUN on debut for Rich Ricci and the all-powerful Mullins/Walsh team.
