Triple Trade (9/4), Cap Du Mathan (5/2), Harper's Brook (9/2), Black Gerry (11/2), Shan Blue (11/1), Eden Du Houx (18/1), El Barra (33/1)
It was a strong handicap in which CAP DU MATHAN was an encouraging fourth to Boothill on his reappearance at this course last month and, with that run under his belt and reunited with Harry Cobden, he is appealing off this 2 lb lower mark. Triple Trade also performed well behind Boothill in a similarly valuable handicap here last time and looks a big threat, while Shan Blue is dangerous to discount having slipped to a potentially handy mark, for all that he has a fair bit to prove at present.
