Verdict

A useful handicap featuring some potential improvers, but it's hard to look beyond David O'Meara's HORTZADAR on the back of his excellent Lincoln third, especially with the talented 5 lb claimer Sean Kirrane again in the saddle. Michael Bell's lightly-raced Maxi Boy has better days ahead of him and is feared most, although both Rhythmic Intent and Makram also warrant plenty of respect.

  1. HORTZADAR
  2. MAXI BOY
  3. RHYTHMIC INTENT (IRE)
