Forecasts

Garrane (3/1), Potters Corner (7/2), Gunfleet (4/1), Perform (5/1), Wandrin Star (8/1), Len Brennan (10/1), Like The Sound (16/1), Dancing Shadow (20/1), Belmount (25/1)

Verdict

Gunfleet and Wandrin Star are closely matched on form and both are expected to go close. Garrane has been unlucky to bump into progressive horses on his last couple of starts and he may find himself meeting another here in the shape of C&D winner POTTERS CORNER. The nine-year-old has only had 14 races but has won four of them and has gone well off this mark previously. His trainer continues in excellent form and suggested last time that the selection ideally wants the good ground forecast here.
  1. Potters Corner
  2. Garrane
  3. Gunfleet
