Forecasts

Longhouse Poet (5/2), Darver Star (11/4), Ronald Pump (7/2), Thedevilscoachman (4/1), Ashdale Bob (9/2), Grand Roi (6/1), Darasso (8/1), Gentlemansgame (14/1), Commander Of Fleet (16/1), Dreal Deal (18/1), Early Doors (66/1), No Memory (66/1), Conron (66/1), Titan Jack (500/1)

Verdict

A few with chances in this Grade 2, but DARVER STAR is fancied to go one better than his good Lingfield second and add to his impressive Punchestown success. Course winner Ashdale Bob can give Gavin Cromwell's likeable sort most to do, with Ronald Pump and Longhouse Poet in the mix too.

  1. DARVER STAR (IRE)
