Forecasts

Conna Cross (4/1), Takingrisks (4/1), Bigirononhiship (9/2), Solighoster (9/2), Ascot De Bruyere (5/1), Straidnahanna (6/1), Western Jo (8/1), Theligny (9/1), Rock On Fruity (16/1)

Verdict

A really competitive race in prospect and a tough one to call. Rock On Fruity will need to improve on anything we have seen from him to back up that latest win from 9lb higher, but ASCOT DE BRUYERE might be able to follow-up his second C&D win from 6lb higher and is taken to do so. Theligny is unexposed and a potential danger, along with Conna Cross and Solighoster, whose fencing will need to be more fluent. A revival by Straidnahanna is not written off, while Takingrisks, Western Jo and Bigirononhiship can also have cases made.
  1. Ascot De Bruyere
  2. Theligny
  3. Takingrisks
