Forecasts

Ballintubber Boy (3/1), Kitesurfer (9/2), Clararose (9/2), Fortified Fortune (5/1), Planet Legend (13/2), Stans The Man (7/1), Porter In The Park (15/2), Catuaba (10/1), Charles St (14/1), Edison Kent (18/1), Prince De Juilley (33/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for a good number of these with CATUABA topping the shortlist on the back of a close call at Worcester. The 6-y-o should've won that race and this 6 lb higher mark looks manageable. Planet Legend put in a good shift back from a break at the aforementioned course and he is second choice, albeit marginally as Clararose, who was just touched off by the re-opposing Stans The Man at Warwick, is also strongly considered. The unexposed Fortified Fortune is another key player.

  1. CATUABA (IRE)
  2. PLANET LEGEND (IRE)
  3. CLARAROSE (IRE)
