Forecasts

Broughtons Star (9/2), Bay Hill (9/2), Kilkeaskins First (6/1), Fleurys Fort (7/1), Effernock Lad (8/1), Miss Mcilroy (8/1), California Soul (10/1), Grand Canyon (14/1), Balofilo (14/1), Who's Cross (16/1), Cnoc Na Sioga (16/1), Rock On Rosie (20/1), Lean Times (25/1), Cootamundra (66/1)

Verdict

BAY HILL has been in good form so far this year and can register his second success over hurdles in what looks a competitive contest. The selection ran well when third last time out and the form of his latest third-placed effort has been boosted since. Broughtons Star is another who has been in good form of late and Gordon Elliott's charge is taken to claim second here ahead of Effernock Lad who has won here in the past and is likely to have improved for his recent return to action.
  1. Bay Hill
  2. Broughtons Star
  3. Effernock Lad
