Verdict

FREETHINKER hasn't looked back since the tongue strap went on and is fancied to complete a hat-trick with the form of his most recent Newcastle success having been franked. Kingsfort Hill is next on the list on the back of his recent C&D second, with eye-catching Bangor third Barony Legends and the handily-weighted Rocco two others who could have a say in an open handicap.

  1. FREETHINKER (IRE)
  2. KINGSFORT HILL
  3. BARONY LEGENDS (IRE)
