Forecasts

Fiesole (7/4), Roibeard (10/3), Highly Toxic (9/2), Mainicin (6/1), Indian Tomahawk (10/1), Forcefull (10/1), Miro (12/1), Spinning Pearl (12/1), Glib Speech (14/1), Silent Dreamer (16/1), Baby Bellini (20/1)

Verdict

Indian Tomahawk would have some claims if turning up here based on recent turf efforts, though he isn't getting any favours at the weight, while Silent Dreamer shaped well for a long way at Tipperary last time out and might now do better. Roibeard must prove his stamina will last out while Mainicin is respected but possibly too high in the ratings just now so the nod goes to FIESOLE. He's been doing very well over jumps recently (two wins from previous three) and is appealingly weighted on his old British Flat form based on that well-being.
  1. Fiesole
  2. Roibeard
  3. Indian Tomahawk
