Bernardo O'Reilly (5/2), Sterling Knight (7/2), Celsius (7/2), Magical Spirit (11/2), Tinto (6/1), Roach Power (7/1), Seven Brothers (9/1), Ghathanfar (10/1), Rathbone (20/1)

Verdict

STERLING KNIGHT ended last season on the up, bagging back-to-back Haydock handicaps over this trip, and he is taken to pick up where he left off by completing the hat-trick. A 3 lb rise for Bernardo O'Reilly's reappearance success at Newbury doesn't look excessive and he's a player. However, Tinto wasn't beaten far off a higher mark than this in a major sprint handicap last season and he is second choice.

  1. STERLING KNIGHT
  2. TINTO
  3. BERNARDO O'REILLY
