Forecasts

Harjo (10/3), Shighness (9/2), Lily Glitters (11/2), Golden Cosmos (6/1), Mr Harp (6/1), Ballymagroarty Boy (7/1), Apple Away (14/1), Sacre Coeur (20/1), Crossing The Bar (28/1), Fleurman (28/1), Happy Hollow (40/1)

Verdict

BALLYMAGROARTY BOY missed all of last season but proved he retains all ability when a good second at Uttoxeter and he is fancied to go one better here. Handicap debutant Harjo is interesting, with last-time-out winner Shighness also on the shortlist.

  1. BALLYMAGROARTY BOY (IRE)
  2. HARJO (IRE)
  3. SHIGHNESS
