Forecasts

Out The Glen (10/3), Galtee Mountain (7/2), Tip Top Mountain (9/2), Spotty Dog (9/2), Lickpenny Larry (13/2), Vital Sign (11/1), Larcadio (20/1), Gorcombe's Rascal (28/1), Menapian (33/1)

Verdict

LICKPENNY LARRY shaped as if back to his best when third at Warwick on New Year's Eve, just stretched by the longer distance, so is potentially on a good mark returned to a more suitable trip. This does look competitive for a class 5 though, with Tip Top Mountain and Out The Glen heading the dangers.

  1. LICKPENNY LARRY
  2. TIP TOP MOUNTAIN (IRE)
  3. OUT THE GLEN (IRE)
