Forecasts

Garrane (5/4), Phangio (7/1), Mountain Of Mourne (8/1), Boardwalk Empire (9/1), Filatore (10/1), Courtinthemiddle (11/1), Steel Express (12/1), Abbeygrey (14/1), We'll Be There (20/1)

Verdict

GARRANE will be a warm order to follow up last week's success given his fitness is proven and he is 4lb "well-in". Mountain Of Mourne goes well here and offers each-way potential, whilst Abbeygrey goes well after a break and could bounce back from some terrible performances. Boardwalk Empire is a big danger to the selection as conditions are highly favourable and he receives plenty of weight from his rivals.
  1. Garrane
  2. Boardwalk Empire
  3. Mountain Of Mourne
