Forth Bridge (7/4), Mixboy (3/1), Upsilon Bleu (3/1), Knockgraffon (4/1), Voix D'Eau (16/1)

A numerically disapointing turnout for this decent prize but a good race is in prospect. UPSILON BLEU, runner-up in this 12 months ago, is 3lb better off the with the winner, Knockgraffon, and ran well for a long way on his seasonal return. He can gain his revenge this time. Knockgraffon returns from both a long absence and wind surgery and has needed a run or two in the past to reach his peak so has it to do to score again. Voix D'Eau has solid claims off top weight, and the other pair, Forth Bridge and Mixboy cannot be ruled out either in a fascinating affair.
