Forecasts

Flemen's Tipple (7/4), Weaver's Answer (11/4), Dear Ralphy (11/4), Delgany Dreamer (17/2), Set In The West (16/1), Cards Are Dealt (20/1), Can't Buy Time (100/1)

Verdict

The trio at the top of the weights stand out here, with the stoutly-bred WEAVER'S ANSWER the narrow pick having only his second crack at a staying trip. Flemen's Tipple is respected back hurdling having shaped as if still in good form on his chase bow last time, whilst Dear Ralphy is also respected if none the worse for a heavy fall on his first foray over the larger obstacles.

  1. WEAVER'S ANSWER
  2. FLEMEN'S TIPPLE (IRE)
  3. DEAR RALPHY (IRE)
