Forecasts

Imperial Measure (5/2), I'm Too Tired (3/1), Joie De Vivre (10/3), Coup De Gold (4/1), Brian's Jet (9/2), Halpha Soleil (7/1), Kurphy (20/1), Big Bee Hive (33/1), Scots Gold (40/1)

Verdict

COUP DE GOLD is winless since 2019 but has slipped to a competitive mark and was unlucky to bump into a thriving rival over 2m here last time, so a chance is taken he'll go one better with the return to an intermediate trip rating as a positive. Imperial Measure has held his form admirably since scoring at Newton Abbot and should go well again, with Joie de Vivre also high on the shortlist.

  1. COUP DE GOLD (IRE)
  2. IMPERIAL MEASURE (IRE)
  3. JOIE DE VIVRE (IRE)
