Espinator (7/4), Kingston King (4/1), Achy Breaky Heart (4/1), To Be Sure (6/1), Master Tradesman (10/1), Wavecrest (10/1), Whatsthecraicjack (10/1), Legend Of Zorro (12/1), Lisronagh Stone (14/1), Gang Warfare (40/1), Alkademon (66/1)

An open handicap, so at the likely odds it's worth siding with LISRONAGH STONE to gain his breakthrough victory given he promises to be suited by this staying trip and has been dropped to a handy-looking mark by the official assessor. Hat-trick seeking Espinator rates the obvious threat despite now figuring on a career-high mark, although To Be Sure is another with the potential to play a part.
