Forecasts

Hailstone (15/8), Settle For Bay (5/2), Jon Ess (7/2), Melisandre (6/1), Lady Rosebud (10/1), Dinky Inty (20/1)

Verdict

Previous C&D winner Hailstone is much-respected after last month's stylish turf success at Limerick but it is a concern that he's facing a 9lb hike for his troubles and that might just be enough to ground him. Dinky Inty, second to him at Limerick, gets a pull at the weights to help try and turn the tables while Lady Rosebud may be able to put her turf form behind now back here on the Polytrack. Settle For Bay must break quicker but there could be plenty more to come from handicap debutant JON ESS, who has run well here in maiden company and has the assistance of Smullen now going handicapping which should be a great help.
  1. Jon Ess
  2. Hailstone
  3. Lady Rosebud
