Forecasts

Shantou Princess (2/1), Brucejack (3/1), Coumeenoole (4/1), On Lovers Walk (15/2), Rokathir (10/1), Western Model (14/1), Low Style (20/1), He's Home Again (28/1), Ney (33/1), Futurum Regem (125/1), Diamond Duke (150/1)

Verdict

ON LOVERS WALK seemed to excel himself second time up over fences when going down by just a head at Down Royal last month and with a repeat, there's every chance he can go one better at the expense of Shantou Princess, who proved a different proposition upped markedly in trip when scoring here last month and this previous point winner now makes her chasing debut. Brucejack, who has plenty of chasing experience, can edge out Rokathir for third.

  1. ON LOVERS WALK (IRE)
  2. SHANTOU PRINCESS (IRE)
  3. BRUCEJACK (IRE)
