Forecasts

Icario (4/7), A Year To Remember (11/2), On The Go Again (9/1), Stacks Mountain (10/1), From Eden (10/1), Charle Brune (14/1), Tree Of Knowledge (25/1), Wild Desire (25/1), Northern Sky (40/1), Buzz Boy (50/1), Emily Square (66/1), Bobby Boucher (66/1)

Verdict

It is a worry that ICARIO has settled for second three times on the trot but his latest effort at Naas may simply have been against a very decent animal. He was delivered to challenge in good style there and had six-lengths in hand on the remainder of the pack, a similar effort here should see him home in front. Of the others that have run before, From Eden has a couple of pleasing recent efforts behind him but would likely need a jump forward to win this. He has clear place claims while Charle Brune is also showing tentative signs of better form to come. Tree Of Knowledge has been disappointing so far over hurdles but newcomer Stacks Mountain might be capable of a decent showing.
