Acdc (7/2), Nakadam (4/1), Blue Kascade (4/1), Buffalo Ballet (5/1), Presented (13/2), Thedrinkymeister (7/1), Finaghy Ayr (16/1), Alfred Oats (28/1), Rock Of Leon (80/1)

A tricky card kicks off with a wide open handicap, with any number holding a chance. Blue Kascade and Presented will both ensure there's no hanging around here, and that might suit THE DRINKYMEISTER, who looked a rejuvenated horse at the end of last year and with Kim Bailey's horses in decent form, gets the vote here. Nakadam looks a moral for the frame, he keeps finding something too good but will be brought through late and should be taking a prize of some sort home. Acdc makes most appeal of the rest.
