Forecasts

Blue Lord (5/6), Darasso (3/1), Tornado Flyer (9/2), Pencilfulloflead (8/1)

Verdict

Little to choose between all 4 on these terms but BLUE LORD won a couple of Grade 1s as a novice chaser, including at Punchestown when last seen in April, and appeals as the most solid option. Pencilfulloflead remains capable of better despite another lengthy absence so is next best.

  1. BLUE LORD (FR)
  2. PENCILFULLOFLEAD (IRE)
  3. TORNADO FLYER (IRE)
