Verdict

The front-running BOLD SKY could have a few of these in trouble some way out under Jack Kennedy. The six-year-old made a promising handicap chase debut at Downpatrick last month and can improve sufficiently in this company to land the spoils here. Top weight Head Turner, Erkindale Lady and Kilganer Queen can battle for the minors.
  1. Bold Sky
  2. Head Turner
  3. Kilganer Queen
