Samuel Jackson (11/2), The Late Legend (11/2), Pemberley (13/2), Wayfinder (7/1), The Two Amigos (15/2), Classic Ben (8/1), Who's In The Box (10/1), Snuff Box (10/1), Dawson City (14/1), Truckin Away (16/1), Volcano (16/1), Captain Drake (20/1), Red Happy (66/1)
Though he hasn't got his head in front for a while, CLASSIC BEN was going great guns in front when coming down 3 out here last time and, off the same career-low mark, he is taken to gain compensation. Snuff Box is respected in his hat-trick bid with Lucy Turner's claim negating the penalty he incurred for his recent Lingfield success, but Pemberley and Wayfinder rate the main dangers.
- CLASSIC BEN (IRE)
- PEMBERLEY (IRE)
- WAYFINDER (IRE)
