Tukhoom (11/4), Global Spirit (9/2), Punjab Mail (9/2), Mickey (11/2), Fitzrovia (8/1), Ramesses (9/1), Shortbackandsides (12/1), Lady Of Aran (14/1), Valley of Fire (22/1), Sir Victor (25/1), Bahuta Acha (50/1), Liberation Day (50/1), Sayesse (66/1)

A tough race. The consistent Tukhoom starts off life for David O'Meara from a tricky looking mark after being harshly raised 7lb for winning a Redcar claimer a fortnight ago, while the form horse Fitzrovia must prove himself as being equally effective on a sound racing surface in order to land the hat-trick. The likes of Punjab Mail, Valley Of Fire and Global Spirit are all place possibles in a wide open contest, but for very small stakes we'll chance the well-handicapped MICKEY for the local trainer Tom Dascombe who is also responsible for both Liberation Day and Sir Victor.
