Forecasts

Trelawne (10/11), Flemenstide (9/4), Earth Lord (3/1), Blackjack Magic (13/2), Just A Dime (15/2)

Verdict

Competitive fare despite the small field with the narrow vote in favour of EARTH LORD. A dual winner already this term, he ran well when seventh in the Lanzarote prior to finishing runner-up back in novice company latest and the step up in trip may unlock a little more improvement. Flemenstide and easy recent course scorer Trelawne head up the dangers.

  1. EARTH LORD (IRE)
  2. FLEMENSTIDE (IRE)
  3. TRELAWNE
