Forecasts

Il Pino (13/8), Pentire Head (3/1), Lord Of Thunder (11/2), Idefix De Ciergues (6/1), Sparkling Duke (15/2), Rockwiththetimes (8/1), Ri Na Cuirte (10/1), Thirtyfour Thirty (22/1), Jail No Bail (40/1), Katopop (100/1)

Verdict

IL PINO was successful on his sole outing in points and it looks significant Harry Cobden has chosen to ride him rather than his stablemate Pentire Head, who has shown a decent level of form in bumpers. Sparkling Duke has a good pedigree and should build on his opening effort over hurdles at Aintree, while winning-pointer Rockwiththetimes and Idefix de Ciergues add further spice to the race.
