Contented (9/2), Hatchet Jack (5/1), Maguire's Glen (5/1), The Mad Well (7/1), Max Forte (8/1), Tudors Treasure (10/1), Savoy Court (14/1), Fenlons Court (14/1), Vicenzo Mio (16/1), Beau Phil (25/1), Martabot (25/1), Tea Time Fred (28/1), Black Anthem (28/1), Mountain Of Mourne (50/1)

Verdict

Contented has been given a feasible mark for his handicap debut having comfortably beaten a good yardstick last time. However, conceding lumps of weight to some of these rivals may prove a tough ask. Hatchet Jack has caught the eye on each of his starts and promises to be winning soon, although it may be the case that victory will come over further than this. Towards the foot of the weights Black Anthem and TUDORS TREASURE appeal as a couple who could go well at a decent price. The latter has shown a liking for testing conditions, having cruised home at Ffos Las in March, and with a good claimer on board he should go close off his featherweight.
  1. Tudors Treasure
  2. Black Anthem
  3. Hatchet Jack
