Forecasts

Master Appeal (5/2), Ask Susan (10/3), Flaxen Flare (10/3), Jarob (6/1), Jaime Sommers (15/2), Gusty Rocky (8/1), All Hell Let Loose (10/1), Ardera Cross (33/1)

Verdict

Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell won this race with Potters Point a year ago and they appear to have strong claims once more with FLAXEN FLARE. He chased home an easy Perth winner last month over fences and has since taken second over hurdles at Cork. A replication of those efforts may be good enough. Jarob shaped nicely at Galway and is well placed to make a bid here in calmer waters while Gusty Rocky would have a chance on last month's Killarney run. Jaime Sommers was poor over timber a week ago, but may bounce back.
