A trappy handicap in which MAN OF LA MANCHA marginally gets the vote. He showed improved form when successful at Sandown last time and should be suited by this track and longer trip. Classic Encounter had plenty of solid form earlier in the season (including when second on this course) and could prove the main danger back in calmer waters. King Casper is interesting returning to this track having been gelded, while Hymnbook looks worth another chance.

  1. MAN OF LA MANCHA
  2. CLASSIC ENCOUNTER (IRE)
  3. KING CASPER (IRE)
