Forecasts

Max Ward (9/2), Sir Note (9/2), Ballybolley (9/2), Monbeg Gold (9/2), Mercian Prince (5/1), Romain De Senam (11/2), Long Lunch (14/1)

Not an easy race to get a handle on and it may pay to give another chance to MERCIAN PRINCE who looked to be on the upgrade prior to getting bogged down in bottomless ground at Leicester last time. The prolific Sir Note may have been a slightly fortunate winner last time but remains in good form and is hard to dismiss despite his rising mark. Romain De Seam and Ballybolley are others with possibilities if putting their best foot forward.
