Forecasts

Enzo D'Airy (10/3), Red Rookie (9/2), Broken Halo (11/2), Fugitif (6/1), Silver Hallmark (9/1), Golden Whisky (12/1), Phoenix Way (14/1), Le Cameleon (14/1), Numitor (14/1), The Big Bite (22/1), Allmankind (33/1), Francky Du Berlais (80/1)

Verdict

ENZO D'AIRY was spring-heeled when winning from the front over C&D on his first start following a 22-month absence, and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Red Rookie contested the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival on his final run of last season and is of strong interest with his sights lowered here. He is next on the list ahead of Broken Halo and Silver Hallmark.

  1. ENZO D'AIRY (FR)
  2. RED ROOKIE
  3. BROKEN HALO
