Forecasts

Vinnie's Getaway (4/6), Simply Loveleh (9/4), Royal Road (5/1), Espinator (12/1), Go Hard Or Go Home (14/1), Aweeminit (14/1), Onboard (33/1), Kims Diamond (100/1), Pinot Noir (100/1)

Verdict

There's not an awful lot of depth so the winning form of Simply Loveleh could easily be good enough despite the concern over the drop in distance. VINNIE'S GETAWAY though is an interesting hurdling debutante following on from some good bumper form for a trainer and jockey both going so well. The pair rate clear of the rest with Royal Road taken to chase them home.
  1. Vinnie's Getaway
