Forecasts

Derrinross (3/1), Minella Fair (7/2), Lighthouse Warrier (4/1), Miracle In Medinah (5/1), Caliption (7/1), Nick Lost (8/1), Kickham (25/1), Imperial Reprise (25/1), Young Paddymc (33/1), Therellalwaysbeone (33/1), Dawn Light Cave (50/1), Johnnyonepunch (66/1)

Verdict

Caliption ran well until unseating in a better race last time and is respected, while Miracle In Medinah represents top connections and should be thereabouts. However, the selection is LIGHTHOUSE WARRIER, who has looked talented in a point-to-point and two bumpers and can makes a winning start over timber. Nick Lost, Minella Fair and, in particular, Derrinross, are others to consider.
  1. Lighthouse Warrier
  2. Derrinross
  3. Miracle In Medinah
