Poker Master (5/2), Sermando (11/4), Hillfinch (4/1), Hardy Boy (5/1), Pearly Island (6/1), Rhebus Road (12/1), Justified (14/1), Masteroftheheights (22/1), Maid On The Moon (28/1), Hiconic (40/1)

Verdict

POKER MASTER can boast an enviable strike rate in handicaps and, still unexposed over this trip, he may well shrug off a 5 lb rise for his reappearance success at this venue. Sermando should be bang there again, with Hillfinch another to consider back over the right sort of distance.
