Forecasts

Il Paradiso (11/10), Trossachs (6/4), Conron (4/1), Shakespear'sgalley (13/2), Brazos (14/1), Tirmizi (16/1), Hot Beat (25/1)

Verdict

A really good standard handicap this with many of the runners boasting appealing profiles but none more so than four-timer seeking TROSSACHS who hasn't been just winning rather absolutely hacking up in his three wins. Also seeking a fourth win of the year is Shakespear'sgalley and he too is a big player especially as unlike the selection he is a proven 2m stayer. Il Paradiso could be the fly in the ointment for Ballydoyle.
  1. Trossachs
  2. Shakespear'sgalley
  3. Il Paradiso
