Verdict

Plenty in with chances here, and Xaloc Bay and Answered Promise are likely to go well, but we'll take a chance on Hebenus to get back to winning ways. The Richard Fahey charge has been expensive to follow, but showed signs of a return to form last time, and with the yard in good form, may well be worth a small interest at likely decent odds. Xaloc Bay is another well worthy of consideration for the in-form Karl Burke yard, especially as his last win was at around this time last year. Answered Promise is a course and distance winner and will not be far away at the finish, but with Paul Hanagan on board, Hebenus could be the answer to this wide open race.
