Verdict

A race in which very few can be confidently ruled out and it's not difficult to build a respectable case for any number of the runners. The weights are headed by the returning Aintree and Punchestown hero Sizing Codelco, who along with the strong stayer Label Des Obeaux faces a much tougher assignment on his seasonal reappearance from a hastily recalculated handicap mark. However, ROCK THE KASBAH is more handily weighted and has a fine career record at this track (2,2,1,1). Furthermore, he goes well fresh, the forecast ground conditions are ideal and he has the best in the business on his back.
  1. Rock The Kasbah
  2. Bigbadjohn
  3. Potters Legend
