Forecasts

Kingswell Theatre (9/2), Urgent De Gregaine (5/1), Chic Name (11/2), Diesel D'Allier (13/2), Tea For Two (7/1), Fact Of The Matter (8/1), Solstice Star (8/1), Rolling Dylan (9/1), Dawson City (20/1), Rathlin Rose (25/1)

Verdict

Usually best to stick with proven course form in these events, and URGENT DE GREGAINE, second and third to Tiger Roll at the last two Festivals is the default choice in that regard. Both Kingswell Theatre and Fact of The Matter have winning form in similar events here, and look to have been lined up for this, while the selection's stablemate Diesel D'Allier can't be ignored.
  1. Urgent De Gregaine
  2. Kingswell Theatre
  3. Fact Of The Matter
