Patricktom Boru (11/4), Onlyfoolsownhorses (3/1), Final Fling (10/3), Perseid (9/1), Mo Rouge (10/1), Court Baloo (12/1), Nicki's Nipper (18/1), Native Optimist (25/1), Solway Palm (50/1)

This isn’t a deep race with several exhibiting some very inconsistent profiles and it must give Onlyfoolsownhorses a good chance of completing a four-timer with this trip and course looking to suit his rugged style of running. PATRICKTOM BORU needs to bounce back from a poor run last time but his penultimate run suggested that he could still be up to winning something like this and he looks to exploit his lower hurdles mark here. Solway Palm has less convictions than most of these and low-grade handicaps always looked as though they would show him in a better light. Both Native Optimist and Nicki’s Nipper are real stayers it’s hard to know what to expect from that duo despite being capable of running with credit if in the mood.
