Bella Bliss (13/8), Tangental (3/1), Ladiam (5/1), Navigator Jack (6/1), Ceroc (15/2), Elle Dorado Rock (8/1), Cheerful Chap (12/1), Junior Alliance (16/1), Kingston Retreat (16/1), Dorans River (18/1), Carlas Big Jim (28/1), Millen To One (33/1), Lighthouse Rose (80/1)

Verdict

TANGENTAL appears handily weighted on the back of his good Naas second so looks the way to go in an open handicap. Elle Dorado Rock is feared most back in this sphere with more to offer, while Down Royal scorer Bella Bliss is also in the picture.
