Hochfeld (3/1), Not So Sleepy (3/1), Aasheq (3/1), Twin Star (7/2), Restorer (9/2), Banditry (5/1), Kasperenko (14/1), Great Hall (16/1)

An interesting middle distance handicap, where AASHEQ, who is unexposed over this trip and has improved throughout this season, is suggested. Great Hall is very interesting from this mark and if back to his best after a short break, he would be a threat to all, while Hochfeld is a solid yardstick who would not be an undeserving winner. Not So Sleepy is another with claims, while the fitting of blinkers by this trainer for the first time since he took the reins with Kasparenko, adds another potential twist to the outcome.
