1st - £13,085.00 2nd - £6,140.00 3rd - £3,068.00 4th - £1,535.00 5th - £765.00

Formscan - David O'Meara has won all three previous editions of this race and has a good chance of noting further success with DARKNESS, who is a previous course winner that runs off 3lb below that last winning mark. Storm Star's fifth-placed finish at Doncaster on his most recent start reads well and he is another to seriously consider off a competitive rating. Oliver Show and Tribal Chief are others to have gone well here before and they shouldn't be underestimated.
