Forecasts

Soloman Lane (9/4), Nazine (5/1), Marronstown (11/2), Baldur's Gate (6/1), St Denis's Well (6/1), Soldaro (8/1), Lar's Lass (17/2), School Lane (25/1)

Verdict

ST DENIS'S WELL has taken to fences like a duck to water and while a 9 lb rise for his Down Royal success demands more, this 6-y-o remains with potential as a chaser and is taken to make it 3-3 in this sphere. Lar's Lass will be a threat if building on her Punchestown victory and Soloman Lane could also take a hand in the finish if putting his latest effort behind him.

  1. ST DENIS'S WELL (IRE)
  2. LAR'S LASS (IRE)
  3. SOLOMAN LANE
