Return Fire (5/2), Lord Roco (3/1), Destiny Is All (3/1), Tim Pat (13/2), Rath An Iuir (10/1), Hitman Fred (12/1), Cobolobo (14/1), Don't Tell Allen (16/1), Ard Chros (40/1)

Verdict

RETURN FIRE looks a staying chaser on the upgrade and is fancied to improve further to complete a hat-trick after wins at Hexham and Newcastle. The similarly unexposed Lord Roco is also much respected, as is the selection's consistent stablemate Destiny Is All.

  1. RETURN FIRE (IRE)
  2. LORD ROCO
  3. DESTINY IS ALL (IRE)
