Forecasts

Walhaan (10/3), Fastnet Crown (4/1), Marsa (11/2), Ivasecret (6/1), Ampeson (7/1), San Andreas (9/1), Rough Diamond (9/1), Exquisite Acclaim (14/1), Angels Wrath (18/1)

Verdict

Preference is for WALHAAN, who has acquitted himself well in 1m handicaps here the last twice and dropping back to this trip should be in his favour. Rough Diamond probably did too much too soon when behind Ampeson and Ivasecret over 6f here recently but moving back up to 7f is of dubious benefit. Conversely, Ampeson and Ivasecret are both proven at this trip and are likely to emerge as the main dangers.

  1. WALHAAN (IRE)
  2. ROUGH DIAMOND (IRE)
  3. AMPESON
