Forecasts

Up Helly Aa King (7/2), Mr Muldoon (9/2), Potters Legend (13/2), Domaine De L'Isle (7/1), Hitman Fred (15/2), Molineaux (15/2), Flying Verse (11/1), Brianstorm (12/1), Stylish Moment (14/1), Scheu Time (25/1)

Verdict

This looks pretty open and it could be worth chancing MOLINEAUX, who enjoyed a winning spree on the point-to-point scene last year and may be able to exploit a good mark back in this sphere, provided he's fully tuned up following a 10-month absence. The ground here is likely to be faster than anything Up Helly Aa King has previously encountered but he will be a big threat if handling conditions. Mr Muldoon is third choice ahead of Flying Verse and Hitman Fred.

  1. MOLINEAUX (IRE)
  2. UP HELLY AA KING
  3. MR MULDOON (IRE)
