Forecasts

Collectors Item (3/1), Lord Snootie (7/2), Wilde About Oscar (6/1), Ballygrifincottage (13/2), Trelawne (15/2), Ask Me Early (11/1), Party Business (12/1), Sam Brown (14/1), Flight Deck (18/1), Gentleman At Arms (25/1), Dolphin Square (28/1), Silver Flyer (33/1), Stellar Magic (40/1), Lynwood Gold (66/1)

Verdict

It may pay to focus on the unexposed types towards the foot of the weights. LORD SNOOTIE did it nicely on his Warwick handicap debut on New Year's Eve and is narrowly preferred to Collectors Item, who went close in a Grade 2 novice last time, and Kim Bailey's Trelawne.

  1. LORD SNOOTIE (IRE)
  2. COLLECTORS ITEM (IRE)
  3. TRELAWNE
