Tidal's Baby (5/2), Dragon Khan (4/1), Dr Red Eye (5/1), The Special One (6/1), Welsh Inlet (6/1), Aye Aye Skipper (9/1), Jesse Tree (10/1), Gypsy Rider (12/1), Misu Moneypenny (12/1), Mobley Chaos (14/1), Machiavelian Storm (33/1), Tilly's Bridge (33/1)

Verdict

Very poor fare on offer in this contest, so it's extremely tough to hold a strong view as to the likely outcome. The top-weighted Tidal's Bay has improved since switched to Tony Carroll and his chance is an obvious one. However, better value could exist elsewhere with Gypsy Rider well suited to this track, and AYE AYE SKIPPER loitering from a lowly mark if showing any signs of improvement now switched back to turf.
  1. Aye Aye Skipper
  2. Tidal's Baby
  3. Gypsy Rider
