Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout. Roger Fell took this 12 months ago and his HARSWELL DUKE is worth siding with given he should strip fitter for a recent Newcastle sixth and also now figures on a good mark after his C&D success in the mud last spring. Gary Moore's Magic Memories also handles these underfoot conditions really well and could emerge as the main threat ahead of handicap-debutant Helter Skelter and reliable duo Maysong and Titian.

  1. HARSWELL DUKE (IRE)

  3. HELTER SKELTER (IRE)
