2.75 SPREADSHEET (IRE); 3.50 BEZZAS LAD (IRE); 4.00 BAMA LAMA; 6.50 TOMAHAWK RIDGE (IRE); 8.00 JACK RYAN (IRE); 10.00 FIRENZE ROSA (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
In an open race the marginal preference is for SPREADSHEET, who has won his last two starts at this track. A 3lb rise for the most recent of those victories in August appears to be fair and the four-year-old should take plenty of stopping. Bezzas Lad is an obvious threat following his success at Chepstow last month, while Bama Lama and Jack Ryan are others to note.
