Verdict

Lots with chances but CROSSING THE BAR rates the pick of the weights back in this sphere so edges the vote from handicapping debutants Born Bright (second choice) and Boston Beach. Billy Lee Swagger, Churchwarden and Toor Khov all need factoring into this very open handicap too.

  1. CROSSING THE BAR (IRE)
  2. BORN BRIGHT (IRE)
  3. BOSTON BEACH (IRE)
