Verdict

The penny finally dropped for Caerleon Kate when winning at the 29th attempt last time. The 5lb rise makes life a little tougher for her here. Sir Ector was a good second at Sligo when last seen in this sphere and is very much respected. The trip looks ideal for SERIOUS EGO who makes his handicap off a fair mark with cheekpieces on first time.
  1. Serious Ego
  2. Sir Ector
  3. Caerleon Kate
