The Eagle's Nest (7/2), Somnambulist (7/2), Maraakib (8/1), Bollihope (8/1), Knightsbridge Liam (8/1), Mr C (12/1), Steccando (12/1), Valley of Rocks (14/1), Lil Sophella (20/1), Livella Fella (25/1), King's Coinage (33/1), Traveltalk (50/1), Sugar Beach (66/1), Etaad (80/1)
A low grade affair which doesn't appear quite as competitive as Division 1 half an hour earlier. Bollihope can be expected to be stronger switched back to the AW for the first time since May, whilst Maraakib should in theory be able to exploit his current mark, but unfortunately for his trainer David O'Meara he has forgotten how to win races. Mr C is relatively unexposed on synthetics and could have more to offer, as could Somnambulist who should be suited by this shorter trip. However, it is THE EAGLE'S NEST who gets a rather tentative vote. He has been sightly disappointing since a promising handicap debut at Musselburgh in June, but he's fallen a fraction in the weights, and his latest Pontefract effort implied that he would be suited by a longer trip.
- The Eagle's Nest
- Maraakib
- Bollihope
