Hara Kiri (13/8), Night Jet (7/2), Churchman (11/2), Odin's Quest (6/1), Duneomeno (7/1), Pollyonesock (20/1), Lady Alex (25/1), Wrong Way Harry (40/1)

Verdict

HARA KIRI did well to sustain his run from so far back to overhaul another thrown-in rival at Market Rasen 23 days ago and looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise on that evidence. Churchman caught the eye making late headway under considerate handling on just his second handicap start over C&D in November and must enter calculations, with handicap-debutante Pollyonesock another to consider.

  1. HARA KIRI (FR)
  2. CHURCHMAN
  3. POLLYONESOCK (IRE)
