Verdict

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to BIG R, who was possibly in need of the outing after 4 months off when finishing down the field at Southwell recently so Eve Johnson Houghton's 4-y-o can belatedly open his account fitted with first-time blinkers. Em Jay Kay's consistency is hard to knock so he's put forward as the main threat, with Hiatus and Roman Spring taken to fight out third.

  1. BIG R (IRE)
  2. EM JAY KAY
  3. HIATUS (IRE)
