2022 WINNER: NO CORRESPONDING RACE

NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 8

Blinkers worn by No 3. Visor worn by No 1. Tongue Strap worn by No 6. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 7.

Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Global Humor (USA), 9-2 Monhammer (GB), 5-1 Sir Maxi (GB), 6-1 Surprise Picture (IRE), 7-1 Monaadhil (IRE), 17-2 Far From A Ruby (GB), 12-1 Sparkle In His Eye (GB), 22-1 Yellow Bear (GB) PLAY

It may pay to side with SIR MAXI, who has been cut some slack by the handicapper and is now eased into 0-65 company for the first time in his career Surprise Picture could be the one to follow him home, provided he breaks on terms Monhammer was beaten a whisker by Global Humor at Ayr recently but may well reverse the placings this time and emerge as best of the rest.
