Hear The Chimes (5/2), Leskinfere (11/4), Breizh Alko (9/2), Dulce Panem (5/1), Top Billing (6/1), Flemens Story (15/2), Morning Royalty (9/1), Always Tipsy (20/1)

This doesn't look the most competitive race on paper and it may be that Donald McCain has found a good opportunity for FLEMENS STORY to win on his handicap debut, from a mark that looks within his compass. Leskinfere would be interesting if he could bounce back, while a market check looks prudent regarding Breizh Alko. Stablemate Dulce Panem has frame claims, along with Morning Royalty.
