Stewards Note:

MURBIH: Following its run on 10/4/2023 it was reported that the horse hung right after pre-race upset.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Sporting Hero (GB), 4-1 Great State (GB), 17-2 Vespasian (IRE), 10-1 Mid Winster (GB), 14-1 Runninwild (GB), Murbih (IRE), 16-1 Ready Freddie Go (IRE), Stone of Destiny (GB), 18-1 Catch Cunningham (IRE), 28-1 Remarkable Force (IRE), 40-1 Object (GB)

SPORTING HERO won 2 of his 3 stars as a juvenile and starts life in handicaps from a lenient-looking mark, so is fancied to get the better recent Southwell winner Great State. The similarly unexposed Vespasian is preferred to Mid Winster for third.
