Forecasts

Traditional Dancer (4/1), Sheriff Garrett (9/2), Bibliotheca (9/2), London Glory (5/1), Stanarley Pic (15/2), Falcon's Fire (14/1), Torremar (14/1), Jonny Delta (20/1), Ghostly Arc (20/1), Schmooze (33/1), Archibelle (33/1), Wee Bogus (50/1), Optima Petamus (50/1)

Verdict

In a race where recent form is generally poor it's hard to envisage STANARLEY PIC not going close. London Glory won last time out and Joe Fanning may be the key to this difficult ride. Traditional Dancer is better over hurdles but ran well enough latest to suggest he will be in the mix here.
  1. Stanarley Pic
  2. London Glory
  3. Traditional Dancer
