The Trigger (11/10), Brave Helios (3/1), Moorlands Jack (7/1), Kilcascan (9/1), Fled Or Pled (11/1), Legend To Be (16/1), Moorlands Mist (20/1), Tribal Dance (50/1)

Verdict

Not an inspiring contest, with doubts over many of the participants. The Trigger at least comes here on the back of a win, scoring at Killarney on his second chase start. He also gets the champion jockey to aid him now though must defy a career-high rating to double up. Moorlands Jack could have a say but any deterioration in the ground would come as a major worry while Kilcascan has not been in great form lately but did go well here in April – he would likely relish the sight of more rain. BRAVE HELIOS ran a notable race over timber at Worcester last time out and could open his chase account now coming here off a lower mark, with no issues over softer ground in what is not a strong contest.
  1. Brave Helios
  2. The Trigger
  3. Kilcascan
