Forecasts

Woodland Opera (10/11), Ballycasey (9/4), Rock The World (5/1), Diamond King (8/1), Devils Bride (14/1), Mr Diablo (20/1)

Verdict

An intriguing chase featuring some high-class performers. Rock The World is favoured by the race conditions, but this longer trip will test his suspect stamina and it may pay to look elsewhere. Diamond King has become disappointing and as Ballycasey has to concede weight all round, the suggestion is WOODLAND OPERA, who is upwardly mobile and can cope with this rise in class.
  1. Woodland Opera
  2. Ballycasey
  3. Rock The World
