Lethal Steps (5/2), Sebastiano Ricci (7/2), Caffe Macchiato (9/2), Band of Outlaws (9/2), Platinum Warrior (8/1), Quizical (10/1), Poetic Light (12/1), Spiorad Saoirse (14/1), Lisard Lady (16/1)

Quizical and Poetic Light could be the pair vying for the lead here as the gates open with Lethal Steps and Band Of Outlaws racing in behind. The Mick Halford-trained PLATINUM WARRIOR can take advantage of the early speed as he did when staying on strongly inside the final furlong at Dundalk in November going on to win by 7½L.
