Forecasts

Batts Rock (4/6), Empire Burleque (7/4), Milliner (3/1), She'stherightone (8/1), Peace Party (11/1), Xinbama (16/1), Pushaq (16/1), Diamond Kut (33/1), Deedee Deecee (66/1), Baile An Roba (66/1), Ballinlongig (66/1)

Verdict

BATTS ROCK has twice on the level for this trainer already and could make a smooth transition to jumping by taking this prize away. Gigginstown pair Empire Burleque and Milliner require close scrutiny in the betting while the mare She'stherightone isn't dismissed out of hand going over jumps for the first time.
  1. Batts Rock
  2. Empire Burleque
