Forecasts

Known (2/1), Gortroe Joe (9/4), A Distant Place (11/4), Trans Express (13/2), Irish Odyssey (11/1), Aliandy (16/1), Corri Lindo (20/1), Unblinking (40/1)

Verdict

TRANS EXPRESS posted his best effort of the season by some way when runner-up at Exeter 11 days ago and now looks too well treated to ignore turned out from the same mark. Known has the services of a fully-fledged jockey this time and is feared most, ahead of A Distant Place.
