Verdict

IRISH HILL ran a cracker on his handicap debut when a clear runner-up over C&D and is fancied to get back to winning ways here despite being 1 lb "wrong" in the weights. Hat-trick seeking Black Poppy rates the obvious threat, although Mark of Gold enjoys a healthy pull in the weights with the selection from Newbury and is not taken lightly either.

  1. IRISH HILL (GER)
  2. BLACK POPPY
  3. MARK OF GOLD
