Scorpion Star (7/2), Dream Bolt (9/2), Garrahalish (5/1), Doitforjoe (5/1), Gold Mountain (7/1), Hughesie (8/1), Mr Mountain (9/1), Cold Knight (16/1)

Verdict

SCORPION STAR probably would have won if it wasn't for a blunder at the last at Sedgefield earlier in the month and holds every chance of gaining compensation here. Gold Mountain has been dealt a bit of a blow by the handicapper for his win last time out but he is in form at least while Garrahalish is on a reasonable looking mark and may be best of the rest.
  1. Scorpion Star
  2. Gold Mountain
  3. Garrahalish
