Forecasts

Gentleman Bill (10/11), Bathgate (10/3), Two Auld Pals (5/1), Ruby Island (8/1), Marty Mcfly (12/1), Scots Poet (20/1), Call Him Now (50/1), Ebony Jade (50/1)

Verdict

GENTLEMAN BILL is three from four (including point win) completed starts and showed a good attitude at Bangor last time, so he's marginally preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Bathgate in what could be a tightly-knit affair. Two Auld Pals should also be on the premises.

  1. GENTLEMAN BILL (IRE)
  2. BATHGATE
  3. TWO AULD PALS (IRE)
