Verdict

A few in with a squeak but preference is for STRAWMAN, who did well to get so close from a long way back in a modestly-run affair when runner-up at Thirsk earlier this month and Gemma Tutty's 6-y-o can notch a sixth career success. Casilli has tumbled in the weights this year and she could be the one to chase the selection home, with Pillar of Hope and Highwaygrey rounding off the shortlist.

  1. STRAWMAN (IRE)
  2. CASILLI
  3. PILLAR OF HOPE
