Dark Thunder (2/1), Iconic Choice (5/1), Treasure Quest (5/1), So Hi Storm (11/2), Xtara (13/2), Dreamseller (13/2), Sword Of Gold (11/1), The Fluter (33/1)

Verdict

The consistent XTARA made a nice start to his handicapping career at Newmarket in a race likely to prove stronger than this one. He should take all of the beating based on that effort. Dark Thunder, one of two for Tom Dascombe looks a big threat. He appears sure to be suited by this step up to 7f so could prove well treated on his handicap debut. Treasure Quest is closely matched with the selection based on their clash at Newmarket so he has to enter calculations.
  1. Xtara
  2. Dark Thunder
  3. Treasure Quest
