Forecasts

Minella Encore (10/3), The Late Legend (4/1), Ocean Cove (5/1), Eva's Oskar (6/1), Gleno (13/2), Glenduff (13/2), Igor (13/2)

Verdict

THE LATE LEGEND has finished out of the first 2 only once in 9 outings this term, including a C&D win last time, and may be able to defy the handicapper again. Eva's Oskar has come up against some good opposition when fourth on both completed starts over fences and should find life a bit easier now moving into a handicap. Glenduff could leave his opening chase effort behind and is also respected.

  1. THE LATE LEGEND
  2. EVA'S OSKAR (IRE)
  3. GLENDUFF (IRE)
