Clondaw Robin (11/4), Wenceslaus (3/1), Scaramucci (9/2), Vicenzo Mio (15/2), Shanroe Smooch (9/1), Hope's Wishes (14/1), Beet Topper (14/1), Fethard Flyer (20/1)

A pretty uncompetitive affair which offers WENCESLAUS a golden opportunity to record a third win in just four starts since going over the larger obstacles. He jumped left-handed at times when successful last time out, so this track should suit him and he can make light work of a recent 3lb rise in the handicap. The biggest danger to the selection is likely to be Clondaw Robin who posted a much more encouraging effort over fences when third earlier this month. He is still lightly raced and has solid claims if able to build on that run. Although he disappointed over hurdles at this track recently, Vicenzo Mio has placed form over fences here and can prove best of the rest.
