Forecasts

Sandyman (2/1), Up And Out (7/2), Pettigo (7/2), Moneynabane (13/2), Chancer Dancer (9/1), Mabel In May (14/1), Pride Of Hawridge (16/1), Juke Box Rock (20/1), Renard De Noir (22/1), Kartel And Co (33/1), Mason Lady (100/1)

Verdict

SANDYMAN caught the eye when fourth here on his first run for his current yard and looks the way to go now reverted to this sphere after a couple of runs on the Flat. Gordon Elliott's in-form maiden Up And Out could emerge as the main danger with Pettigo and Renard de Noir rating the pick of the rest for place purposes.

  1. SANDYMAN
  2. UP AND OUT (IRE)
  3. PETTIGO (IRE)
