Verdict

Any number to consider but SEA THE CASPER turned an AW handicap into a one-sided affair on reappearance a month ago and with that display backed up by a punchy timefigure, he looks ahead of his mark under a penalty. Long Tradition was expertly prepared to make a winning return to the track at Chelmsford and he's a massive threat, with Sonny Liston, Millebosc and Spirit Dancer completing the shortlist.

  1. SEA THE CASPER (IRE)
  2. LONG TRADITION (IRE)
  3. SONNY LISTON (IRE)
