Mister Winston (11/8), Wolfpack (2/1), Transparent (11/4), The Fingal Raven (10/3), Abundance (13/2), Royalty Bay (16/1), Victory Sound (80/1)

Verdict

This is a slightly easier C&D handicap than the one MISTER WINSTON contested at the July meeting and he can strike for Andrew Balding. The reliable Transparent is second choice ahead of Abundance in this useful contest.

  1. MISTER WINSTON
  2. TRANSPARENT (IRE)
  3. ABUNDANCE
