Rushmount (5/6), Betty Dutton (13/2), Machismo (8/1), Crossing The Bar (8/1), Lady Of The Locke (17/2), Sequoiaspirit (10/1), Donkey Years (14/1), Ad Caelum (22/1), Arion Soldier (25/1), Carrig Sam (25/1)
The one who appeals most is RUSHMOUNT, who performed with plenty of credit in a valuable Leopardstown handicap last time and this lightly-raced 8-y-o may well have more to offer. Betty Dutton has been knocking on the door and she is likely to deliver another bold show, while Machismo is third choice ahead of Crossing The Bar and Lady of The Locke.
