Forecasts

Gin On Lime (7/4), Fan De Blues (7/2), Bold Enough (11/2), Druid's Altar (11/2), Robinnia (9/1), The Very Man (16/1), Jungle Junction (18/1), Antey (25/1)

Verdict

GIN ON LIME has returned a much-improved model this year and Henry de Bromhead's mare is taken to stretch her winning run to 4. She's a strong-travelling front runner who could prove tough to peg back if allowed to dicate matters. Druid's Altar has made an encouraging start to his chasing career so he heads up the opposition, ahead of the selection's stablemate Bold Enough.

  1. GIN ON LIME (FR)
  2. DRUID'S ALTAR (IRE)
  3. BOLD ENOUGH (IRE)
