Forecasts

Red Secret (9/4), Enquire Within (4/1), Figurehead (5/1), Sir Allen (8/1), Waystar (17/2), Pretty Soldier (10/1), Albion Princess (11/1), Lord Park (12/1), Honrado (12/1), Bigz Belief (12/1), Beautiful Chaos (14/1), Wild Shot (18/1), Carrickfinn (33/1), Ballinahulla (50/1), Cruiscin Lan (125/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but ALBION PRINCESS is worth siding with to capitalise on a reduced mark having hinted at a revival when third at Dundalk last time. The handily-weighted Red Secret can also have a big say, while Figurehead and Enquire Within both need factoring into this open handicap too.

  1. ALBION PRINCESS
  2. RED SECRET (CAN)
  3. FIGUREHEAD (IRE)
