Verdict

FOREVER GOLD finished just behind Isleofhopendreams in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse but two more strides and he may well have got there. He deserves one of these big prizes and with ideal conditions today, this could be it. Isleofhopendreams is also pretty consistent in big field handicap chases and even with the big weight, shoudn't be far away. Augustin may lack the experience of a few but is open to improvement and isn't out of it. Anseanachai Cliste goes form out of the handicap but knows how to win and could get in the places.
  1. Forever Gold
