Quarry Rocco (9/4), Ballyglass Beauty (5/2), Ambitious Fellow (11/4), A Great View (7/2), Ringdufferin (8/1), Happy Jacky (10/1), Walking On Glass (12/1), Futurum Regem (20/1), Noble Birth (25/1)

Verdict

A strong-looking handicap with the narrow vote in favour of BALLYGLASS BEAUTY. He produced a career-best effort when scoring with plenty to spare under this pilot at Listowel (3m) 10 days ago and his subsequent weight rise may not prevent another bold showing. Galway scorer Ambitious Fellow, A Great View and unexposed handicap debutant Quarry Rocco head up the dangers.

  1. BALLYGLASS BEAUTY (IRE)
