Forecasts

Gold Seal (9/2), Miles To Memphis (11/2), Runyon Rattler (7/1), You Can't Catch Me (7/1), Killiney Court (7/1), Boot Camp (8/1), Stormey (8/1), Graineyhill (10/1), Jarob (20/1), Glan Y Gors (20/1), Mr Picotee (25/1), Lion In His Heart (33/1), My Manekineko (40/1)

Verdict

Graineyhill has typically improved since joining Gordon Elliott and gained a third hurdles win at Sligo last time. A 9lb ratings hike might just be enough to stop him this time though. Gold Seal stuck on gamely to win last time at Sligo and is worth considering upped 3lb and tackling this longer trip while You Can't Catch Me, Killiney Court and handicap debutant Glan Y Gors could be up to getting involved. MR PICOTEE ran well enough at Tramore this month and has scope for doing better back over a longer trip based on his Clonmel run earlier in the year.
  1. Mr Picotee
  2. Gold Seal
  3. Killiney Court
