Forecasts

Roysse (4/9), Mistress Emma (7/2), King Califet (11/2), El Rayo (12/1), Sergeant Fury (22/1), Jorebel (50/1), Youdecide (80/1), Beylerbeyi (100/1), Kingly Fighter (125/1), Fort St Angelo (150/1), A Good Yomp (250/1)

Verdict

ROYSSE went like he was as superior as the market suggested on his C&D hurdles bow only to give it away, possibly just blowing up on his first run in 10 months, and this looks a good opportunity for him to make amends. The potential fly in the ointment is Mistress Emma, who looked a decent prospect when winning a bumper in the summer of '22 but has been absent since.

  1. ROYSSE
  2. MISTRESS EMMA (IRE)
  3. EL RAYO
