Forecasts

Polar Bear (7/2), Amazon Lady (4/1), Distillate (4/1), Wave Machine (5/1), Smullen's Pride (11/2), Spirit Of Eagles (6/1), Mythical Phoenix (6/1), Charming Lady (16/1)

Verdict

POLAR BEAR and Mythical Phoenix both have a realistic chance of reversing last month's Bellewstown placings with the re-opposing winner of that handicap, Charming Lady, on these revised terms. The first-named was returning from a three-month break that day and, with the forecast slower ground here no bad thing, he is taken to emerge on top this time. Distillate is holding her form well and should be in the mix, while Wave Machine is also a possible in what looks a pretty competitive race.
