Connemara Coast (5/2), Power Of Gold (5/2), Fox Journey (9/2), Muir Wood (8/1), Mindset (10/1), Mighty River (12/1), Cavern Club (16/1), Pol Roger (16/1), Rhythm And Tyne (28/1)

Verdict

CONNEMARA COAST would have gone close to making a winning handicap bow here (1m) last month had he not met trouble so tops the shortlist with the extra distance unlikely to be a problem. Power of Gold also showed improved form switched to handicaps on return when third at Redcar and that form has taken a boost since, while Fox Journey is a potential improver from the Sir Michael Stoute yard.
