Always Resolute (3/1), Captain Brown (4/1), Golden Town (5/1), Fiosrach (7/1), Inniscastle Lad (7/1), Character Onesie (7/1), Applesandpierres (8/1), Xpo Universel (14/1), Honeychile Ryder (66/1)

A race lacking in many solid options and CHARACTER ONESIE is taken to win this after his sound round at Southwell last time with this sharp test likely to suit him. Three James Moffatt runners go to post and the local trainer is always worthy of respect here with Captain Brown looking the best of his trio over the consistent if rather frustrating Golden Town. Applesandpierres is given a chance by the handicapper but the form of the seller he was beaten in last time is rather unappetising.
