Verdict

Plenty in with a shout in this ultra-competitive handicap but Ed Walker's unexposed 3-y-o TERWADA arrives very much on the up so gets the vote under a 6 lb penalty for his convincing Newmarket success. Lots of these bring solid big-race handicap form to the table with Northern Express, The Gatekeeper and Sonny Liston all well in the mix. Last year's victor Blue For You completes the shortlist.

  1. TERWADA (IRE)
  2. NORTHERN EXPRESS (IRE)
  3. THE GATEKEEPER (IRE)
