Verdict

BLACKACRE remains lightly-raced granted this sort of test and ran his best race yet when runner-up at Fontwell 3 weeks ago, making his effort from further back than ideal in a falsely-run race. He could just be worth chancing to build on that in a wide-open contest from such a lowly mark. Recent-winner Bobo Mac and in-form Rivers Corner head up the dangers, with Behind The Curtain and Jemura completing the shortlist.

  1. BLACKACRE
  2. BOBO MAC (IRE)
  3. RIVERS CORNER
