Forecasts

Flaming Charmer (7/2), Vic De Touzaine (5/1), Ballygarvey (13/2), Pilgrims Bay (7/1), Gores Island (7/1), Rothman (8/1), Bennys Mist (8/1), Pain Au Chocolat (10/1), Dusky Lark (12/1), Oscar Sunset (14/1), Rouge Et Blanc (20/1)

Verdict

Ballygarvey has been given his best chance for some time, though we will take a chance on ROTHMAN to come good. Chris Gordon's charge is likely to get the ground to suit ad can follow-up a decent Kempton effort last time and upset one or two more illustrious opponents. One of those is Bennys Mist, who should give a good account and the same goes for stablemate Vic De Touzaine and Pilgrims Bay, who is worth another chance. 1. Rothman 2. Bennys Mist 3. Pilgrims Bay
