Forecasts

Parvos (3/1), Circus Act (9/2), Park Hind (5/1), Glen Na Tara (6/1), Soldaro (7/1), Maimie's Magic (7/1), Bella Bliss (12/1), Return To Base (14/1), Jenny Flex (14/1), Queenie Newall (22/1), Country Queen (25/1), Harvest Bow (40/1)

Verdict

CIRCUS ACT has found some improvement of late and gets a narrow vote in this competitive handicap. Gavin Cromwell saddles a couple of interesting contenders in Soldaro and the returning Queenie Newall, while Gordon Elliott's Jenny Flex strikes as a likely improver in handicaps.

  1. CIRCUS ACT (IRE)
  2. SOLDARO (IRE)
  3. QUEENIE NEWALL (FR)
