Forecasts

Darwins Fox (13/8), Delta Borget (2/1), Boygojumping (7/2), Doeslessthanme (12/1), Rody (14/1), Court In Session (25/1), The Banastoir (50/1)

Verdict

Not the easiest to solve. Darwins Fox would be the one to beat on form, but the likely soft/heavy conditions are slightly concerning. Preference is for DELTA BORGET, who won't mind the likely ground and this trip is ideal. He can repeat his victory from 2015. Money for Doeslessthanme would suggest he's fit and ready to go after his layoff, and on old form, he's of definite interest.
  1. Delta Borget
