1st - £20,616.00 2nd - £9,668.00 3rd - £4,836.00 4th - £2,416.00 5th - £1,208.00 6th - £604.00
Formscan - Clarendon House, who was second in the 2022 renewal of this race, commands respect dropping back into a handicap after a couple of spins in pattern company. Desperate Hero and King's Lynn should act on the ground conditions and can figure off competitive marks. However, Harry Brown and DREAM COMPOSER may be the pair to focus on, with the latter shading preference as a previous course and distance winner, with Joe Levy's 5lb claim an additional bonus.
