Forecasts

Eden Du Houx (11/2), Final Nudge (13/2), Seaston Spirit (7/1), Shantou Flyer (15/2), Shanty Alley (8/1), Time To Get Up (10/1), The Kings Writ (10/1), Springfield Fox (10/1), Ballycross (11/1), Darlac (14/1), Lamanver Pippin (22/1), Commodore (22/1), Regal Flow (28/1), Head To The Stars (40/1)

Verdict

SEASTON SPIRIT has won 5 of his last 6 (over hurdles on reappearance) and probably hasn't finished improving yet, so he gets the nod in a wide-open handicap chase. Ballycross is a big danger on the back of a pleasing start for his new yard and hat-trick seeker Shanty Alley should also go well under a positive ride.

  1. SEASTON SPIRIT
  2. BALLYCROSS
  3. SHANTY ALLEY
