FormscanBy Michael Graham - SAXON KINGDOM might be the answer to this contest. He was beaten just over two lengths into sixth in a big-field handicap on the turf at Leopardstown last month which was a creditable effort. Julian Pietropaolo steered him to third over course and distance before Christmas and his 7lb claim has the gelding operating off a very light weight. Harry The Rogue is generally a consistent sort who has finished runner-up in two of his last three starts at Dundalk. He is a big player in a race lacking depth. Camachero suffered a less than clear route the last day and is better judged on his close third over course and distance in January, while River Derwent has been given a chance by the handicapper.

An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 0-60
