Forecasts

I'm Spartacus (5/2), Crystal Luna (10/3), Sam's Xpress (9/2), My Girl Sioux (5/1), Hasiyna (13/2), Babyface (8/1), Livingston Range (10/1), Hezahunk (14/1), Overdue Revival (16/1), Havana Notion (20/1), Turn Up The Beat (25/1), Carrigans Grove (33/1), Happy Henry (66/1), Old Chicago (66/1), Ascendent (125/1), Quiet Affair (125/1)

Verdict

A host in with chances but the vote goes to SAM'S XPRESS, who bounced back to form to take advantage of a much-reduced mark over C&D recently and remains well handicapped on old form following a 6 lb rise. I'm Spartacus, Crystal Luna and My Girl Sioux are just a handful of possible threats in a tricky opener to solve.

  1. SAM'S XPRESS (IRE)
  2. I'M SPARTACUS (IRE)
  3. CRYSTAL LUNA (IRE)
