The Con Man (11/10), McGowan's Pass (9/2), Lake View Lad (5/1), Newtown Boy (15/2), Bialco (10/1), River Frost (16/1)
A smashing contest featuring an array of progressive horses, in addition to the top-class handicap chaser Lake View Lad (has late-season targets at Cheltenham and Aintree). Bialco is 2-2 over hurdles at Kelso and must be considered as a major player despite dropping back in trip, while it's impossible to knock anything that the lightly-raced The Con Man has achieved under rules since joining Donald McCain for £70,000. However, as a half-brother to the 3m2f hunter chaser Digg Whitaker, the talented nine-year-old MCGOWAN'S PASS can silence any stamina doubters, swiftly doubling-up his smooth and taking success at Ayr (2m, heavy) three weeks ago.
- Mcgowan's Pass
