Forecasts

Aupcharlie (11/10), Seabass (5/2), Hedgeinator (11/2), Sizing Solution (7/1), Island Master (9/1), Ad Idem (20/1), Dantes King (25/1)

Verdict

AUPCHARLIE and Seabass appear best equipped for this contest and the former gets the vote, primarily, on account of superior race fitness. Even were it not for that, he might still get the nod though Seabass is much-respected and his trainer has shown with Foxrock that he can excel in this sphere. Island Master comes here in good heart after a win at Clonmel while Hedgeinator also merits a place on the shortlist having won a similar race a year ago. 1. Aupcharlie 2. Seabass 3. Island Master
