Forecasts

Sullivan Bay (11/8), Scotch On Da Rocks (10/3), Ask Her Out (7/1), Ryder's Rock (15/2), One Man Party (12/1), Redbridge Rosie (12/1), Just Aidan (14/1), Soldier's Leap (14/1), Sawpit Samantha (22/1), Lyle View (40/1), Prairie Queen (66/1), The Cooleen (125/1)

Verdict

SULLIVAN BAY was immediately back in the winners' enclosure on first outing for this yard at Chelmsford in October and, having performed with credit at Southwell since, he's fancied to gain a first success over obstacles with the booking of Harry Cobden catching the eye. Ask Her Out has found a handicap debutante too good twice in a row and she may have to settle for silver again, with Scotch On Da Rocks rounding off the shortlist.

  1. SULLIVAN BAY (IRE)
  2. ASK HER OUT (IRE)
  3. SCOTCH ON DA ROCKS (IRE)
