Stewards Note: SABBATHICAL: Following its run on 23/1/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Ben Buie (IRE), 3-1 Line of Descent (IRE), 11-2 Letsbe Avenue (IRE), 6-1 Blueberry Wine (IRE), 10-1 Elmount (IRE), 16-1 Sabbathical (FR), Go As You Please (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

LINE OF DESCENT was only 4 lengths behind Ben Buie despite making a race-altering blunder at Fakenham 2 weeks ago so is fancied to come out on top this time on 4lb better terms. Letsbe Avenue got no further than the first at Taunton recently, but he’d made a winning debut for this yard there prior to that so must be respected.
