Forecasts

Kilcullen Flem (7/2), Smuggler's Stash (7/2), Green Flag (7/2), Purcell's Bridge (7/1), More Madness (8/1), Allez Cool (8/1), The Trigger (8/1), Indian Voyage (12/1), Red Giant (14/1), Border Breaker (20/1)

Verdict

Both ALLEZ COOL and Smuggler's Stash won races at Carlisle before finding 3m6f beyond them last April. They both look capable of going well back to 3m here but preference is for the former who made a better fist of things when they met at Perth. On better ground The Trigger would be fancied but it would still be no surprise if he goes well today off top weight.
  1. Allez Cool
  2. Smuggler's Stash
  3. The Trigger
