Forecasts

Big Stage (10/11), Step Out (2/1), Point Gellibrand (15/2), Bayonetta (8/1), Eco Pete (10/1), Shinnhill (14/1), Kalsman (25/1), French Milan (50/1), Zhivotov (50/1), Isn't He Westie (50/1), Western Ability (66/1), Augusta George (66/1), High Honour (80/1), Wee Vee (125/1), Bringsty (125/1), Fly With Me Chik (125/1), Ash Court (125/1), Menhir (200/1)

Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and BIG STAGE looks very much the way to go on the back of his promising recent second here. Both Step Out and Point Gellibran have better days ahead of them and can chase home Gordon Elliott's useful sort in that order.

  1. BIG STAGE (IRE)
  2. STEP OUT (IRE)
  3. POINT GELLIBRAND (IRE)
