Verdict

WIND YOUR NECK IN can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent runner-up at Carlisle so looks the way to go with a repeat of his front-running tactics likely to be seen to very good effect round here. In-form trio Merry Shuil, Secret Vino and Joto head up the dangers, in that order.

  2. MERRY SHUIL (IRE)
  3. SECRET VINO
