Forecasts

Tranquil Magic (9/4), Delayed Eloquence (9/4), A Touch Of Sparkle (7/1), Well Joey (9/1), Like A Demon (12/1), Broughtons Star (14/1), Persian Wind (16/1), Maighnealta (16/1), Shaluna (16/1), Bold Sky (20/1), There Was A Time (25/1), Eric The Third (33/1), Arctic Light (66/1)

Verdict

Tricky beginners chase with the likely warm order DELAYED ELOQUENCE expected to try and make all over the 2m3f distance. The 102-rated hurdler can transfer here solid hurdler form to the larger obstacles with the notable booking of Ruby Walsh in the plate. Chasing debutantes Broughtons Star and A Touch Of Sparkle can battle for the minors.
  1. Delayed Eloquence
  2. Broughtons Star
  3. A Touch Of Sparkle
