Killane (2/1), Spark Of Madness (3/1), Cancan (10/3), Ardera Cross (9/1), Fraughan Hill (12/1), Beat Box (16/1), Wheelbahri (16/1), Saryshagann (20/1), Tintern Theatre (80/1)

Verdict

KILLANE quickly dispelled a blip (ran out at Southwell) when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and a 5 lb rise ought not prevent another bold bid for Donald McCain's low-mileage 6-y-o. Fellow last-time-out winner's Spark of Madness and Cancan are also fancied to be firmly in the mix.

  1. KILLANE (IRE)
  2. SPARK OF MADNESS (FR)
  3. CANCAN (FR)
