Forecasts

Hostelry (11/4), Bulls Aye (10/3), Shine On Brendan (9/2), Engles Rock (7/1), Super Stars (15/2), Cosa Sara (15/2), Big Dream (11/1), Retirement Beckons (14/1), Rogue Force (25/1), Esticky End (28/1)

Verdict

HOSTELRY goes off the same mark as when second at Musselburgh at the beginning of last week and may be up to going one better now. Shine On Brendan is another who arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort in recent days and should figure again. The returning Esticky End won on his 2022 reappearance and is another to consider, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

  1. HOSTELRY
  2. SHINE ON BRENDAN (IRE)
  3. ESTICKY END (IRE)
