Forecasts

Casamari Abbey (2/1), Barest Of Margins (3/1), Begoodtoyourself (9/2), Arbennig (15/2), Getaway Jewel (9/1), Grand Revival (12/1), Running Cloud (16/1), Silvretta Schwarz (40/1), Strong Team (66/1)

Verdict

CASAMARI ABBEY exceeded expectations when runner-up from out of the weights at Cartmel a week ago and, now back on his correct mark, a repeat of that effort may well suffice. Begoodtoyourself finally won a race last time but his profile is unconvincing, so Barest of Margins could be the main danger pitched into a handicap for chase debut.

  1. CASAMARI ABBEY (IRE)
  2. BAREST OF MARGINS (IRE)
  3. BEGOODTOYOURSELF (IRE)
