Verdict

A very open handicap but multiple C&D scorer VOLENTI has slipped back down to a winning mark so looks the way to go. Course specialist Pop Favorite is next on the list on the back of a good C&D second last time, with Powerful Response, Tasever and Mercurius Power all firmly in the picture too.

  1. VOLENTI (IRE)
  2. POP FAVORITE
  3. POWERFUL RESPONSE (IRE)
