Verdict

TOP OF THE BILL and Collectors Item both need to bounce back but, if able to do so, they will likely come to the fore in this trappy-looking handicap. The latter is potentially the better treated of the two but there's less to forgive where Top of The Bill is concerned. Indeed, Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge appeared to be firmly on the up prior to trailing in last of three finishers at Exeter on his latest start and he is preferred. Lord of Kerak is just about third choice ahead of Donny Boy.

  1. TOP OF THE BILL (IRE)
  2. COLLECTORS ITEM (IRE)
  3. LORD OF KERAK
