Forecasts

Italian Spirit (16/5), Inca Rose (5/1), Jet Plane (6/1), Grand Lord (13/2), Jaytee (15/2), Rabski (11/1), Steady Away (12/1), Glimpse Of Gala (14/1), Lamanver Bel Ami (16/1), Ernesto (16/1), I'm A Starman (18/1), Straight Swap (22/1), Jaboticaba (33/1), Shaw's Cross (40/1), Lygon Rock (50/1)

Verdict

Moving back up in trip will help ITALIAN SPIRIT, who put in a good shift when third on his handicap debut over 19f here last time. That form is solid and the 5-y-o should have more to offer on what will be just his fourth start over hurdles. Jaytee shaped encouragingly back from a lengthy absence at Chepstow and he is second choice ahead of Glimpse of Gala, Lamanver Bel Ami and Rabski.

  1. ITALIAN SPIRIT (IRE)
  2. JAYTEE
  3. GLIMPSE OF GALA
