Verdict

Lots with chances but FOURONEOHFEVER was a dual scorer round here last May (including over C&D) and should be spot on after his recent Doncaster reappearance 11th so is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark. The returning Liberty Coach could emerge as the main threat, although Austrian Theory, Wadacre Gomez, Paradoxical and Paddy The Squire all need factoring in too.

  1. FOURONEOHFEVER (IRE)
  2. LIBERTY COACH
  3. AUSTRIAN THEORY (IRE)
