Forecasts

The Banger Doyle (3/1), Great Bear (3/1), Gaelic Arc (10/3), Typical Thomas (11/2), Uncle Phil (6/1), Lieutenant Highway (14/1), Final Orders (18/1), Grey Diamond (20/1)

Verdict

GAELIC ART has shown plenty as a chaser and, having pulled hard upped in trip last time, he makes plenty of appeal dropped back to a more suitable distance and switched to handicaps. The Banger Doyle should appreciate the return to this sphere, so he's a danger along with the in-form Great Bear.

  1. GAELIC ARC (IRE)
  2. GREAT BEAR
  3. THE BANGER DOYLE (IRE)
