A terrifically competitive handicap chase to start the new campaign here and no doubt race specialist Cogry will have been primed to make a bold bid. He should go well once again but from a host of runners with genuine claims a chance is taken on Irish raider NA TRACHTALAI ABU who comes here fit and in form after a couple of good runs of late. Toward the top of the weights Cobra Du Mai, Rock The Kasbah, Rocky's Treasure and The Young Master could be thereabouts, as too might Shantou Village, Rolling Dylan, and West Approach.
- Na Trachtalai Abu
- Rocky's Treasure
- Cogry
