Luminous (11/4), Epitaph (4/1), Sir Gnet (4/1), Broughtons Knight (4/1), Tread Lightly (10/1), Mr C (14/1), Akkadian Empire (14/1), Satish (16/1), Vodka Wells (20/1), Almunther (20/1), Shakabula (33/1)

A race which probably won't capture the imagination of many, and in truth few make obvious appeal. Mr C looked to have a decent winning opportunity at Beverley on Monday on an afternoon when his trainer saddled a double, but was taken out to come here instead so must be respected off bottom weight. Sir Gnet has proved disappointing given his sales price and pedigree, but he needs to be on the premises at this level whilst Luminous has been found a weak race in which to make her handicap debut. Nevertheless, the stand out horse is the former Joseph O'Brien trained EPITAPH. Now with Mick Appleby (known to improve stable switchers) he's potentially thrown in from a mark of 68 with both of his Limerick conquerors going on to achieve much better things in Ireland since.
