Rhoscolyn (9/4), Ata Rangi (9/2), Brian (5/1), Brighton Boy (8/1), Montezin (9/1), Cape Ashizuri (10/1), Korker (12/1), Darkness (14/1), Star Anthem (14/1), King Of Thunder (16/1), Sergeant Wilko (16/1), Wreck It Ryley (33/1)

BRIGHTON BOY has an impressive record under these sort of conditions and he gets the vote in an open-looking handicap. The David O'Meara pair both make appeal from falling marks with Darkness preferred of the 2, while Star Anthem could prove well treated if back on song.
