The Bishop (7/2), Redkalani (7/2), Darsi Dancer (4/1), Spring Over (4/1), Purple Harry (7/1), Too Many Chiefs (12/1), Bescot Springs (14/1), Longueville Flier (33/1)

Verdict

SPRING MOVER makes plenty of appeal from the foot of the handicap. She gets a significant weight advantage with The Bishop on running here last year. Two runs following a layoff show she is coming to hand and she moves up to her optimum trip. The Bishop ended a lean spell to collect last time. Nick Alexander's charge has something to find with the selection but his current wellbeing is assured. Darsi Dancer makes most appeal of the rest.
