Verdict
Not many with chances here and our vote goes to course and distance winner In For The Craic, who is in good heart of late and looks good enough to score at these weights off a mark of 52. There are very few others that make any sort of betting appeal and best of them looks to be top weight Bank On Him, who has enjoyed two course and distance successes here from his last six starts and whose drop down the weights would give him a decent chance, though he may just struggle to give weight to the selection. Of the remainder Butrinto makes most, if only minor, appeal.
