The Son Of Brega (7/2), Lovely Reaction (5/1), Hillsin (5/1), Little Token (6/1), Mahlers Cove (13/2), Ventnor (13/2), Natural Breeze (17/2), Molly Kaye (10/1), Pidoyne (12/1), Saved By The River (18/1), Princess Mahler (22/1)

A decidedly trappy handicap and with that in mind it could be worth chancing LOVELY REACTION. She looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and could well take a step forward from a low base. If ready to roll following a lengthy absence, Natural Breeze could also figure, along with another handicap debutant, Mahlers Cove.
