Forecasts

Baratineur (11/8), Ballyfarsoon (13/2), The Herds Garden (9/1), Mac Cennetig (9/1), Frozon (10/1), Nicolas Chauvin (11/1), Life Knowledge (12/1), Kennedys Field (12/1), Strait Run (20/1), Pullman Brown (20/1), Starplex (50/1)

Verdict

Only a modest event but it is competitive for the grade although a few of these have rather uneven profiles. One of those would be The Herds Garden who is far from certain to build on his last run at Bangor despite that looking good form. Kennedys Field remains of interest and will be dangerous if he gets free on the lead he’s still unexposed in handicaps. It’s hard to ignore anything from the Phil Kirby yard at the moment and whole his Pullman Brown hasn’t shown much over hurdles a repetition of his Flat form would put him in with a chance here. BARATINEUR is the selection though on the back of what he showed at Taunton last time and with his yard doing well with this sort.
  1. Baratineur
  2. Pullman Brown
  3. Kennedys Field
