Dysart Enos (5/6), Beat The Bat (3/1), Spirits Bay (5/1), Meatloaf (8/1), Kintail (14/1), Micks Jet (20/1), Soldante (40/1), Brendas Asking (150/1), Shinji (150/1), How And Ever (200/1), Ascension Day (200/1), Royal Defender (200/1)

Verdict

A good race that will likely be form to follow. DYSART ENOS maintained her unbeaten record without much difficulty on her Huntingdon hurdle debut last month and has scope for considerable progress based on her strong bumper form, so she's taken to extend her winning sequence to 5 under Rules. Spirits Bay finished his race off well at Sandown and is a likely improver, while Kintail and Beat The Bat are others to take seriously.

  1. DYSART ENOS (IRE)
  2. SPIRITS BAY
  3. KINTAIL
