Mr Love (2/1), Robyndzone (11/4), Silent Encore (4/1), Dr Time (9/2), Costante Via (5/1), The Happy Chappy (17/2), Mid Day Gun (12/1), Simply Lucky (18/1), Ring Minella (33/1), Okmyway (66/1)

Verdict

They all have questions to answer in this staying handicap hurdle but if the wind operation has done the trick it wouldn't surprise to see CONSTANTE VIA go very close on his first start for Jonjo O'Neill. Mr Love hails from a top yard but is difficult to win with and is not yet proven over this trip, and while Dr Time's fitness is pretty much guaranteed he is a bit of a plodder and could be found out in the closing stages once again. Mid Day Gun is not without hope, and with his yard in great form Robyndzone cannot be ruled out of the equation.
  1. Costante Via
  2. Mid Day Gun
  3. Dr Time
