Thefaithfulindian (5/1), A Place Apart (5/1), Arcland (11/2), Miraculum (11/2), Allora Yeats (10/1), Yamato (11/1), Happy Company (11/1), Walkabout (11/1), Beat Of The Sea (12/1), Paistiul (14/1), Red Vermillion (14/1), Mastermind (14/1), Molly Kaye (18/1), Liam Eile (20/1), Muyam Spirit (20/1), Indian Eye (33/1), Border Battle (50/1), Nightly Wailing (66/1), Teodora De Urbina (80/1)

A typically wide-open staying handicap with the nrrow vote in favour of A PLACE APART. Each of his two victories have come over hurdles/fences but he ran well when a close-up third on the Flat here latest and he can go well again. Happy Company, Walkabout and Arcland head up the dangers.
