Young Fire (5/2), Cloudy Skye (7/2), Risen Again (7/2), Zous Juice (15/2), Jewel Maker (17/2), Arranmore (12/1), Tasever (14/1), Wait And Hope (16/1), No Saint (50/1)

Verdict

YOUNG FIRE looked at the top of his game when an emphatic recent scorer at Haydock and a 5 lb weights rise might not prove sufficient to prevent him from following up. Risen Again appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Cloudy Skye and Arranmore. Zous Juice completes the shortlist.
