Shantou Village (3/1), Kilcrea Vale (9/2), Poker School (13/2), Brother Tedd (7/1), Romain De Senam (7/1), Theinval (8/1), Royal Vacation (10/1), Plaisir D'Amour (11/1), As De Mee (12/1), Casino Markets (14/1), Dark Flame (16/1), Fingerontheswitch (16/1)
Two difficult handicaps conclude the season. POKER SCHOOL looks to be going places over fences and this sound jumper can take this en route to better things next year. Dark Flame maybe doesn't have the "sexy" profile of a few of these but there's little wrong with his efforts on decent ground and he may surprise. Shantou Village has always been well regarded and should go close.
