Forecasts

Loved Out (5/4), Peckham Springs (9/4), Alexei Vronsky (10/3), Movie King (12/1), Wyett Earp (16/1), Roma Delight (20/1), Saga Malta (33/1), Stage Power (50/1), Rizannon (80/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is PECKHAM SPRINGS, who showed enough in maidens on the Flat to think that he'll be very competitive in a race of this nature on hurdles debut, assuming of course that he takes to this game. Alexei Vronsky has the benefit of experience and is next on the list ahead of Movie King and Loved Out.

  1. PECKHAM SPRINGS (IRE)
  2. ALEXEI VRONSKY (IRE)
  3. MOVIE KING (IRE)
