Forecasts

Highland Fling (13/8), Emily Square (9/2), Our Rachael (7/1), Nearly Famous (8/1), Time For Mabel (8/1), Six Silver Lane (10/1), Theophilus (12/1), Massini's Trap (16/1), Repare Mon (16/1)

Verdict

HIGHLAND FLING appears the most likely winner after a good effort last out at Galway when taking the runner-up spot. He's on a decent mark again, will handle conditions and as a winner over jumps, may be able to make the most of his stamina to take this prize. Nearly Famous is worth a chance for Jessica Harrington, having won a charity race over C&D last month, while Emily Square is also likely to be involved. Massini's Trap hasn't been out since Cheltenham, but merits close attention in the betting.
  1. Highland Fling
  2. Emily Square
  3. Nearly Famous
