Keable (9/4), Prophesea (10/3), Toonagh Warrior (6/1), James Jet (7/1), Job (15/2), Geturguccion (15/2), Valens Bruyee (14/1), Phillapa Sue (25/1), Fontana Ellissi (40/1)

An intriguing finale with the narrow vote in favour of low-mileage 6-y-o GETURGUCCION. Alan King's mare makes a quick switch to handicaps having finished runner-up both starts in this sphere to date and appeals as being potentially well treated now her stamina is tested further. Last-time-out winners Keable, Job and Prophesea head up the dangers in that order.
