Forecasts

Mr Mix (11/4), Gentleman Jon (11/4), Bally Longford (13/2), Our Sox (9/1), Goodtoknow (9/1), Forgotten Gold (14/1), Mosspark (16/1), Adam du Breteau (16/1), Boa Island (16/1), Caulfields Venture (25/1)

Verdict

Quite a few here who have run well around here in the past although Boa Island may well be better in small fields and Mr Mix needs to brush up his jumping. The two past winners of this Forgotten Gold and GENTLEMAN JON must be given a mention although the former needs to improve on a poor run last time and the a certain extent the latter needs to bounce back but he does love this venue. The trip may be a too far for Bally Longford with his stamina far from assured and Our Sox is a fascinating runner off his low weight from a yard that are not shy of a tilt at the ring.
  1. Gentleman Jon
  2. Mr Mix
  3. Our Sox
