Race Info

1st - £13,008.00 2nd - £5,980.00 3rd - £2,990.00 4th - £1,495.00 5th - £748.00 6th - £372.00

Formscan - The value may lie with POPPA POUTINE, who has improved with every start this season and went close over further at Haydock last time out. The six-year-old is still relatively unexposed in this sphere and the fact he has proven himself over further is another plus. Spiritofthegames rarely runs a bad race around here and he is a key player alongside Farinet, who could not have won any easier on his return at Chepstow at the expense of the reopposing Secret Reprieve (second). Runner-up in this contest last year off 2lb lower, The Wolf can also have a say in proceedings.
