Verdict

In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is DISTINCTION, who had an excuse at Pontefract last week and had been a good second over C&D prior to that. Ribkana is still a maiden but she was second here last summer and finished a creditable fourth at Ripon 10 days ago. Perovskia brings unexposed potential to her handicap debut and also makes the shortlist.

  1. DISTINCTION (IRE)
  2. RIBKANA (IRE)
  3. PEROVSKIA
