Stonific (10/3), Aeglos (9/2), Shanroe Tic Tec (5/1), Little Stevie (7/1), For Pleasure (7/1), Farmer Boy (7/1), Hereia (7/1), Castletown (8/1), Zig Zag (12/1), Mabela (12/1)

Unlike plenty of the other events on the card this doesn’t looks particularly deep in its nature. STONIFIC is well handicapped on his Flat form and these conditions will hold no fears having travelled like the winner on heavy ground at Bangor last time until late jumping failings proved his undoing; that run suggested should be winning something like this. Little Stevie returned to form last time (finished just in front of Stonific) but he has to prove that he can string two runs together and a bigger danger may be Hereia who should find this easier than his last two tasks. The wild card is Aeglos he was decent when trained in Ireland but the market is likely the best guide to his chance.
