Cargin Bhui (5/2), True Promise (4/1), Kirkdale (6/1), Pianoforte (13/2), Expert Agent (13/2), Blue Lakota (10/1), Abduction (16/1), Lion's House (16/1), Jkr Cobbler (18/1)
Though he evidently has a quirk or two, KIRKDALE is certainly capable of winning a race of this nature off his present mark and he is appealing with an experienced apprentice in the hot-seat. Expert Agent won't be far away if responding well to the new headgear and Jkr Cobbler is another who could have a say. Cargin Bhui should be winning soon but this may come too soon on the back of his respectable third at Southwell on Tuesday.
