Valgor Du Ronceray (5/4), Now Let Go (5/2), Ormskirk (7/1), Wait Here (8/1), Kitty B (10/1), Grandads Choice (25/1), Hip Hop Dancer (33/1), Mickey Shea (33/1), La Regle (50/1), Kosovo (50/1), Raghallaigh (50/1), Divin Desir (66/1)

Verdict

Debuts for runners age nine and six, doesn't say a great deal for the quality of this race. Ormskirk, is improving over hurdles, Kitty B, has disappointed here, but is better than the majority of this field and Wait Here, could be one for the notebooks, while, VALGOR DU RONCERAY, should really be winning among this type of opposition.
  1. Valgor Du Ronceray
  2. Wait Here
  3. Kitty B
