We said5th of 11, beaten 5½ at 15/2
OMAN 9/1
OMAN at 9/1, Tony Carroll with Myla Coppins taking off 5lb, is the one I keep coming back to. He won by 2.25 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 3.4lb in hand and is a twice-winner over this course.
The dangers are ZAMBEZI MAGIC at 12/1 (went close off this mark) and MEET ME IN MERAKI at 4/1 (well handicapped).
