Forecasts

Reclaim (7/2), Squire Danagher (4/1), Miss Paloma (4/1), Master Dunraven (4/1), Stariam (7/1), Polemon (10/1), Napper Tandy (10/1), French Company (10/1), Harry's Legacy (11/1), Curious Bride (18/1), Autocrat (25/1)

Verdict

This step back up in trip looks a good move for POLEMON, who was fourth over 9f at Cork recently and, though 0-5 on the all-weather, he went close on polytrack for previous connections in the UK last year. Napper Tandy hasn't been seen out on the Flat for some time but he was a hurdles winner as recently as June and resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark. He is therefore feared most ahead of Squire Danagher, while French Company is a viable each-way option.

  1. POLEMON
  2. NAPPER TANDY
  3. SQUIRE DANAGHER
