Sporting Life forecast prices — published the night before the race. Top 3 highlighted as market favourites.

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	—	Duke Of Luckley (G) [V] Front runner. Enterprisingly ridden when winning on reappearance for the second successive season at Southwell early last month. He could make a bold bid off 9 lb higher, though remains to be seen if he gets as much rope.	67PPP-1	Freddie Keighley	M Keighley	9	76.2 kg	4.50 7/2
4th	2	—	Krak (G) Fairly useful sort. Ran his best race for Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies when runner-up in Bangor handicap in mid-May. Subsequently sold for £27,000, and he's very interesting now reverted to fences (following a breathing operation) by excel…	6370P-2	Harry Skelton	D Skelton	6	75.3 kg	2.75 7/4
—	2	—	Captain Cool (G)	22-1122	—	J Candlish	6	75.7 kg	—
2nd	3	—	Schmilsson (G) [P] Winner of back-to-back handicaps at Perth before going off the boil last summer. Cheekpieces return (responded well previously), and he ought to at least be competitive given his record fresh.	43/1145-	S Bowen	O Murphy	7	74.8 kg	9 8/1
1st	4	—	Gore Point (G) FAV [T] Largely consistent over fences. Probably booked for second when left with the race at his mercy in a Stratford handicap 4 days ago. Carries a 7-lb penalty for that success, and he takes on better-calibre opposition here.	5342-21	Sam Twiston-Davies	A J Honeyball	6	67.1 kg	2.50 6/4
—	5	—	Cobbler's Boy (G)	444-127	—	D Skelton	6	71.2 kg	—
—	7	—	Manyana Blue (F)	321222-	Luke Scott	Dr R Newland & J Insole	4	60.8 kg	—

Betting forecast: Gore Point (6/4), Krak (7/4), Duke Of Luckley (7/2), Schmilsson (8/1)
