Forecasts

Highlands Legacy (1/2), Backmersackme (11/8), Shengai Enki (3/1), Double Oban (9/2), Marco's Light (14/1), Captain Bill (40/1), Lion Ring (40/1), Olivia Kate (50/1), Clover Pass (50/1), Nippin N Poppin (50/1), Jormungandr (80/1), Might Do Emery (150/1)

Verdict

BACKMERSACKME wasn't at his best on his most recent start at Tipperary 17 days ago but he'd previously shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in Grade 1 company at Punchestown and he's well worth another chance to get back on track for his shrewd handler. Highlands Legacy was an easy winner at Southwell when last seen and he's the chief threat. Hurdles-debutant Double Oban and the consistent Shengai Enki are others fancied to be thereabouts.

  1. BACKMERSACKME (IRE)
  2. HIGHLANDS LEGACY
  3. DOUBLE OBAN
