Forecasts

Ferny Hollow (8/15), Thedevilscoachman (5/1), Coeur Sublime (13/2), Gentleman De Mee (11/1), You Raised Me Up (12/1), Zoffanien (18/1), The Priests Leap (40/1), Kalkas (40/1), Norwigi (40/1), Flash De Touzaine (100/1), Low Lie The Fields (100/1), Quantum Realm (125/1), Mica Malpic (150/1), Conquredalofeurope (200/1), Golden Ferret (250/1)

Verdict

This is sure to be an informative contest. FERNY HOLLOW has been off the track since lowering the colours of Bob Olinger a year ago and is already very prominent in the Arkle betting prior to this chase debut. Stablemate Gentleman de Mee may prove to be the chief threat, with Zoffanien perhaps the pick of those with experience over fences.

  1. FERNY HOLLOW (IRE)
  2. GENTLEMAN DE MEE (FR)
  3. ZOFFANIEN (IRE)
