The Ridler (3/1), Another Baar (9/2), A Pint Of Bear (9/2), Sparkling Red (7/1), Heroism (17/2), Golden Duke (17/2), Ultramarine (17/2), East Bank (14/1)

Verdict

THE RIDLER signalled he is ready to strike again when a good recent third at Newmarket so earns the vote off a 1 lb lower mark here. Golden Duke should be all the better for his Carlisle reappearance so could play a part now off a lenient mark. Sparkling Red appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. THE RIDLER
  2. GOLDEN DUKE (IRE)
  3. SPARKLING RED (IRE)
