North Star Oscar (11/10), Wilde Spirit (3/1), Iconic Hero (6/1), Voodoo Doll (7/1), Manor Park (12/1), Galactic Power (14/1), Chirico Vallis (16/1), Finula (50/1)

Verdict

Connections are quick to strike again with North Sea Oscar who took a conditional riders’ event at Huntingdon on Saturday in easy fashion but despite the fact he’s off the same mark here the drop back in trip and more competitive contest mean others are preferred. One of those would be the Dan Skelton trained Iconic Hero, he looks just the type for handicaps having been given a good preparation for this and a wind op to boot, the market will guide on his expectations. WILDE SPIRIT just shades the argument on her C&D second to a resurgent Bhutan last time. Voodoo Doll is respected but may just need a further ease in the weights and a better surface to make an impact.
  1. Wilde Spirit
  2. Iconic Hero
  3. North Star Oscar
