Verdict

An open-looking handicap with the vote going to MICKEY THE STEEL, who is best under these sort of conditions and has dropped to a very tempting mark. Rathbranchurch and Emerald Harmony are just a couple of potential threats.

  1. MICKEY THE STEEL
  2. RATHBRANCHURCH (IRE)
  3. EMERALD HARMONY (IRE)
