Forecasts

Lark In The Mornin (11/4), Mighty Bandit (3/1), Pacini (4/1), Harsh (5/1), Biggerthanbigtime (13/2), San Guido (8/1), Green Sky (20/1), Tranquil Sea (33/1), Burvea (100/1), Tiny Angel (250/1), Better Choice (250/1), Td's Approach (250/1)

Verdict

MIGHTY BANDIT is an interesting newcomer for Gordon Elliott and market confidence for him would look significant. Lark In The Mornin showed plenty on his 2 starts on the Flat so is another to consider, while San Guido has the best form over hurdles.

  1. MIGHTY BANDIT (IRE)
  2. LARK IN THE MORNIN (GER)
  3. SAN GUIDO (IRE)
