Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and FAMOSO is taken to defy a 5 lb rise for his recent Ludlow success given he had something left in the tank there. Abingworth rates a big threat on the back of his strong-travelling Huntingdon second, with course winner Flash Gorcombe and the returning My Rockstar appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. FAMOSO (IRE)
  2. ABINGWORTH
  3. FLASH GORCOMBE
