Verdict

It is hard to make a case for most of these, but something has to win and the suggestion is top weight ROSQUERO, who has won off a higher mark and can handle soft ground. He has to bounce back from a couple of poor runs, though, and if he fails to do so, recent Worcester winner Irish Octave may be the one to benefit. Solway Trigger may be capable of hitting the frame.
  1. Rosquero
  2. Irish Octave
