Forecasts

Houston Texas (3/1), Rath An Iuir (4/1), Seven No Trumps (9/2), Morning Spirit (13/2), Flower Of Scotland (15/2), Innisfree Lad (12/1), Niceandeasy (12/1), Secret Reprieve (12/1), Mount Melleray (18/1)

Verdict

In a race where the fitness of the vast majority has to be taken on trust the suggestion is SEVEN NO TRUMPS who is unexposed for a leading stable and leaves the impression this sort of stamina test will suit him. Morning Spirit will be a danger if back to the level he showed when second in a big field at Exeter last December. Houston Texas scored twice here at the beginning of the year and is another to consider.

  1. SEVEN NO TRUMPS (IRE)
  2. MORNING SPIRIT (IRE)
  3. HOUSTON TEXAS (IRE)
