Forecasts

Jabbar (2/1), Robbies Rock (5/2), Chutzpal (5/2), Say It So (9/2), Stariam (9/2), Elsa's Pride (5/1), Paper Doll (13/2), Polemon (8/1), Empress Alma (10/1), Gracesolution (12/1), Simpson's Paradox (18/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but ELSA'S PRIDE rates just the pick of these weights so is fancied to bag a first win of the season at the chief expense of Empress Alma, who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Galway last time. In-form trio Polemon, Stariam and Say It So also need factoring into this competitive handicap.

  1. ELSA'S PRIDE (IRE)
  2. EMPRESS ALMA (IRE)
  3. POLEMON
