Verdict

Plenty of course regulars line up, including ON THE RIVER, who finished runner-up in this race 12 months ago and is fancied to capitalise on a handy mark. Walsingham may well resume his progress on seasonal reappearance, while Chesneys Charm could be in the mix if this is run to suit.

1	Very much on the up when landing a hat-trick at Ascot in September, and while well below form in a better race at Doncaster the following month, he was successful first time up last year and needs considering. 2nd Pick 1 Walsingham (Ire) Jockey: Conor Whiteley Trainer: David O'meara J: Conor Whiteley T: David O'meara	99	-	-	-	15%
