In The Trenches (11/8), Toll Stone (7/2), Roboreti (4/1), Noble Hilltop (11/2), San Guido (12/1), Hey Whatever (20/1)

In a tight-looking 4-y-o handicap the suggestion is IN THE TRENCHES, who took a step forward when runner-up on his Limerick handicap debut last month. Last-time-out C&D juvenile 1-2 Toll Stone and Roboreti may give him most to do.
