Rock Of Star (6/4), Skinflint (10/3), Yggdrasil (11/2), Wild Romance (11/2), Young Buck (6/1), Party Fuzz (9/1), Best Trition (14/1), Fortified Bay (28/1)

Verdict

ROCK OF STAR produced a career best when scoring in good style over C&D last month and can defy a 9 lb rise with that form working out well. Low-mileage veteran Skinflint looked better than ever when winning here on his last 2 starts so should make another bold bid, with Wild Romance best of the others.

  1. ROCK OF STAR (FR)
  2. SKINFLINT (IRE)
  3. WILD ROMANCE (IRE)
