Forecasts

Windsor Beach (10/3), Ceol Na Nog (9/2), Elusive Heights (5/1), Tilly's Chilli (8/1), My Direction (9/1), Le Vagabond (10/1), Elleval (10/1), Tandem (12/1), Speed Company (12/1), Jaqen H'ghar (14/1), Castle Guest (14/1), Tennessee Wildcat (20/1), The Moore Factor (25/1)

Verdict

This looks a wide open contest and it is tough to rule anything out with confidence. ELUSIVE HEIGHTS made a pleasing return over the mile last month and, with his trainer in red-hot form of late and no stamina worries for this trip, he might well prove up to grabbing this prize now on second start. Stablemate Tennessee Wildcat, winner last time out at Gowran Park is by no means out of thing either. Speed Company was all out to hold on at Ayr last time and may be holding place claims now, while Tandem defied a long absence to win twice on his return, though this will surely prove tougher going down in trip against a useful field.
