On The Blind Side (4/1), Itchy Feet (4/1), Emitom (4/1), Third Wind (9/2), Lisnagar Oscar (6/1), Main Fact (8/1), Ballyoptic (14/1), Donna's Diamond (66/1)

Verdict

ON THE BLIND SIDE is one of the few who arrives at the top of his game and, with his stamina proven, is fancied to gain win number three in a productive season. Emitom has been chasing but took this contest impressively 12 months ago and isn't dismissed lightly after a wind op. C&D scorer Main Fact saw his remarkable winning spree end in the Long Walk but can't be ruled out back here.
