Verdict

A few with chances but ELSHAAMEQ is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success on the back of his promising Newcastle third when not enjoying the rub of the green. Recent C&D scorer Angel of Peace heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for Brighton winner Shalfa and in-form maidens Storymaker and Pretty Peg.

  1. ELSHAAMEQ
  2. ANGEL OF PEACE (IRE)
  3. SHALFA (IRE)
