Forecasts

Ourmullion (15/8), Camlad Kingfisher (9/4), Da Dou Ron Ron (3/1), The Lincoln Lawyer (7/2), Naasik (6/1), Gin And Tonic (12/1), All Good Things (14/1), Jeremy's Jet (20/1), Kilcaragh Boy (22/1), Just Marvin (33/1), Chance It (33/1), Baron Von Chill (50/1), American Craftsman (50/1), Troy Dee Knee (50/1), Johni Boxit (50/1), Poor Duke (50/1)

Verdict

Ourmullion is the obvious choice given the revitalised efforts he's posted of late. However, he was looking well held by NASSIK when they met over C&D earlier this month and, granted a safer conveyance for today's pilot - the saddle slipped and the gelding unseated Danny McMenamin when he had the race all but sewn up on the run to the final flight - the six-year-old looks good value to make amends this time around. The Lincoln Lawyer appeals as the best of the rest as he has time on his side and benefits from a prime jockey booking to bolster his chances. Camlad Kingfisher goes well at this course and is another to bear in mind.
  1. Naasik
