Set In Stone (4/1), Balranald (9/2), Kings Creek (5/1), Sword Of Fate (6/1), Diamond State (17/2), Totally Rejected (9/1), Three Castles (10/1), Sarvi (16/1), Fisher Green (20/1), Big Jim Dwyer (20/1), Jorgie (28/1)

Verdict

BALRANALD was an early faller here last time but remains handily weighted for his new yard and is worth another chance in a tightly-knit handicap. Diamond State is sure to make his presence felt having posted a good C&D third on his handicap bow last month, while Set In Stone has been in winning form in jumpers bumpers so needs considering back in this sphere.
