Forecasts

Not Just Any Eagle (5/2), Breagagh (5/1), Brave Thought (11/2), Sky Legend (11/2), Gurkha Girl (6/1), Uberrima Fides (6/1), Flier (8/1), Cara Susanna (10/1), Shining Aitch (14/1), Anjah (16/1), Emperor Of Silk (16/1), Liberated Girl (25/1), Kartayaz (28/1), Ballycommon Chapel (28/1), Together Aclaim (33/1), Berlina (40/1), Just For Yuse (125/1)

Verdict

BRAVE THOUGHT shaped as if her turn is near when a very good C&D second last time so gets the nod with that form working out well. Not Just Any Eagle is also weighted to have a big say, while Flier and Gurkha Girl also need factoring into this competitve handicap.

  1. BRAVE THOUGHT (IRE)
  2. NOT JUST ANY EAGLE (IRE)
  3. FLIER
