Pinkerton (10/3), Pats Choice (7/2), Ebasari (5/1), Nibiru (13/2), Charli Parcs (7/1), Watch The Weather (8/1), Take All (10/1), Felix Desjy (12/1), Curious Times (16/1), Wingin A Prayer (16/1), Douglas Dc (25/1), Tudor City (33/1), Justicialism (40/1)
EBASARI is still only a 4-y-o so could yet have a bigger performance in him and may prove the answer to this competitive handicap. Nibiru is a tricky character but has been in good form over hurdles and on the Flat this autumn so he heads the dangers along with Watch the Weather, who was badly hampered at Listowel last time and could still be in form, and the low-mileage 6-y-o Pinkerton.
