Forecasts

Off To A Flyer (13/8), Robiola (9/2), Major Fortune (5/1), Dollar Bae (11/2), Urban Soldier (15/2), Jet Marshall (17/2), Exmoor Forest (17/2), Sergeant Wilson (11/1), Iron Wings (25/1), Bothie Lady (66/1), Gracefull Dancer (300/1)

Verdict

OFF TO A FLYER was quite an expensive purchase after his point win so he gets the nod to make a winning start under Rules. Last-time-out Ludlow runner-up Robiola promises to be suited by the step up to 2m and rates an obvious danger, while Urban Soldier and Jet Marshall are newcomers who would enter the reckoning should the betting speak in their favour.

  1. OFF TO A FLYER (IRE)
  2. ROBIOLA (IRE)
  3. URBAN SOLDIER (IRE)
