In depth

Verdict

Possible was heavily supported to make a winning handicap debut in May and had no problems doing so. She's 9lb higher here and the runner-up Red Sea Poll, who has been beaten twice subsequently, is 6lb better off. She finished behind Battleoftheboyne last time and is unlikely to turn the tables while Chois The Idea has been progressing steadily and won nicely at Down Royal though that was on fast ground. IMAGINATIONRUNWILD made a very promising debut in a big field at the Curragh and made no mistake at Down Royal. She's capable of going on to better things and can concede weight all round.
