A big field go to post but in truth a lot of these are running for handicap marks and will be seen to better effect in that sphere once they have a mark. That group would include Faint Hope, Must Havea Flutter and River Bray. DON’T ASK comes from a yard in good form and given that he has some improvement in him he could well defy a penalty. Dan McGrue is another who may well be better suited by this trip having faded over further last time while Skinflint is a most interesting newcomer who must be watched in the market.
