Forecasts

Boolamore Classic (5/2), Teddy Mac (10/3), Reagrove Lord (4/1), You Say Its Over (11/2), Rob Roy Macgregor (11/2), Ideal De Romay (7/1), Blended Stealth (12/1), Toucan Sam (40/1), Gold Ring (50/1)

Verdict

ROB ROY MACGREGOR was out of sorts when last seen in the spring but, having been given a chance by the handicapper, Sandy Thomson's 7-y-o is afforded the tentative nod to open his account in this sphere. The main danger may emerge from Reagrove Lord, who ran close to best fitted in a first-time visor at Hexham last month and could well build on that here. Teddy Mac and Blended Stealth can fight out third.

  1. ROB ROY MACGREGOR (IRE)
  2. REAGROVE LORD (IRE)
  3. TEDDY MAC
