Forecasts

Half The Odds (7/2), Burren Life (9/2), Miles To Memphis (7/1), Yaha Fizz (7/1), Mon Lino (7/1), Hareth (8/1), Templemore Dream (10/1), Monotype (12/1), Returntovendor (14/1), Lion In His Heart (14/1)

Verdict

There's not much to choose between these on the figures, so it may be that class will out and BURREN LIFE , who acts so well in these conditions, will appreciate this easier task and be able to give the weight away. A decent gallop should be on the cards, with Yaha Fizz likely to make it, and that can only help his cause. Monotype might be the danger if building on his Limerick win, but he too might just set it up for the selection. Half The Odds and Miles To Memphis are both likely to be around when the medals are given out.
  1. Burren Life
  2. Miles To Memphis
  3. Monotype
