Knocknanuss (5/4), Rafafie (9/2), Notre Ami (6/1), Vicenzo Mio (8/1), Champagne George (10/1), Its'afreebee (10/1), Broughtons Rhythm (12/1), Le Precieux (33/1)

Verdict

Switched to handicaps today KNOCKNANUSS can regain the winning thread. This classy bumper performer still holds plenty of ability and could prove capable of further improvement given his relative inexperience over hurdles. Its'afreebee is respected and at his age he should still hold all ability which makes him a very dangerously handicapped horse and blinkers are a most interesting addition. Broughtons Rhythm must bounce back but he is off a useful mark if doing so.
  1. Knocknanuss
