Verdict
A wide open handicap rounds off the card and the main protagonists look to be Sorbiesharry, Wilson Bluebottle and Jade Star and the vote goes to Wilson Bluebottle. The selection was a good second behind Rust En Verde last time and with Paul Mulrennen taking off a handy five pounds he will be hard to beat. Sorbiesharry rates the main danger he was behind the selection last time but is slightly better off at the weights so there should not be much between them. Jade Star is another that could go well he was a good second behind Sorbiesharry last time and is weighted to gain his revenge on that rival. Danger Bird is from a shrewd yard and the booking of Tony Culhane catches the eye so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Wilson Bluebottle.
