Forecasts

Azzuri (2/1), Bel Ami De Sivola (9/4), Ballyoisin (5/2), Our Dougal (7/2), Tell Us More (10/1), Devils Bride (12/1), Don't Touch It (12/1), Rock The World (14/1), Rightville Boy (33/1)

Verdict

The progressive BALLYOISIN has been imperious in his two most recent starts and earns the vote to win this race for the second year running, despite conceding weight in all directions. Former C&D scorer Our Dougal was back on song last time out and can get involved on that evidence while Azzuri has some decent novice form in Britain over fences and is primed fit after three Flat runs for his new handler. Rock The World and Bel Ami De Sivola will have a chance on their best form.
