King David (15/8), Mandana (4/1), Pickering Castle (4/1), Invincible Melody (5/1), Sanditon (8/1), Toussarok (16/1), Silky Robin (22/1), Fort Augustus (40/1)

Verdict

A trappy handicap in which marginal preference is for in-form maiden SANDITON who is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough victory at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Pickering Castle. Silky Robin, King David and Invincible Melody all command plenty of respect too in this very open contest.

  1. SANDITON (IRE)
  2. PICKERING CASTLE
  3. SILKY ROBIN (IRE)
