Forecasts

Lagostovegas (5/2), Swamp Fox (11/2), Davids Charm (6/1), Top Othe Ra (8/1), Timi Roli (8/1), Timiyan (8/1), Boherbuoy (14/1), Western Boy (14/1), Orgilgo Bay (16/1), Plinth (16/1), The Irregular (16/1)

Verdict

Swamp Fox was an easy winner over C&D in similar conditions a year ago and is in great heart, but he must concede lumps of weight here and, in these conditions, that could be decisive. The clear danger is the mare Lagostovegas, who is going great runs since joining the Mullins camp. She's up 9lb herself for a recent Killarney success where she beat TOP OFTHE RA into second spot. In receipt of extra weight now, it might prove worth siding with Jack Kennedy's mount, who rarely runs a bad race and handles soft ground. The improving Davids Charm and Orgilgo Bay are also worth paying attention to in a very open contest.
  1. Top Othe Ra
  2. Lagostovegas
  3. Davids Charm
