We said15th of 19, beaten 19½ at 16/1
EMPIRESTATEOFMIND 70/1
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
EMPIRESTATEOFMIND at 70/1, John & Sean Quinn and Jack Dace, is the standout, and this is exactly the sort of race to find one. He races off a mark 20lb below the 87 it won from back in October 2025, has already won around this track and has the right side of the draw.
The dangers are BARLEY at 16/1 (went close off this mark) and DWINDLING FUNDS at 14/1 (a course winner).
