Forecasts

Celtic Fortune (7/2), Express Surprise (4/1), Pearl Island (11/2), Get Cracking (11/2), Kapamazov (13/2), Brother Boris (15/2), Mister Upton (12/1), Knocknagappagh (16/1), Anytrixwilldo (20/1), Killomeroe (80/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but the suggestion is KNOCKNAGAPPAGH, who looked the most likely winner before attempting to take the last home with her at Leicester last month. Pearl Island showed his battling qualities when scoring at Uttoxeter recently and nudged up just 3 lb, he can give the selection most to think about provided the blinkers have the same effect. Brother Boris can edge out Get Cracking for minor honours.

  1. KNOCKNAGAPPAGH (IRE)
  2. PEARL ISLAND
  3. BROTHER BORIS
