Verdict

Course winner POL ROGER shaped as though the run was needed when eighth on his Thirsk reappearance so is fancied to take a step forward here and capitalise on a reduced mark. Bellasio should also strip fitter for his recent Southwell sixth after an absence and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Hill O Rue and Everyoneknowsadave in this wide open handicap.

  1. POL ROGER (IRE)
  2. BELLASIO (IRE)
  3. HILL O RUE
