Forecasts

Red Ball Of Fire (7/2), Peckham Springs (9/2), Two Shoe Tom (6/1), Skippin Court (13/2), Ena Baie (13/2), Guido Reni (17/2), Donthavetime (11/1), Beat Of The Sea (12/1), The Dara Man (14/1), Mr Moondance (22/1), Jazz Ranger (33/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a shout, including dual course winner RED BALL OF FIRE. She's been in good form over hurdles/on Flat in recent months and this mark looks within reach. Peckham Springs, Donthavetime and Ena Baie head up the dangers, whilst veteran Mr Moondance isn't ruled out either.

  1. RED BALL OF FIRE (IRE)

  3. DONTHAVETIME (IRE)
