Forecasts

Housesofparliament (7/2), Crossed My Mind (6/1), Wakea (6/1), Out Of The Loop (7/1), Art Of Security (7/1), Charlie Stout (8/1), Golden Spear (8/1), Mr Showtime (8/1), Veinard (10/1), Top Othe Ra (12/1), Artful Artist (16/1), Waaheb (20/1), Verona Opera (33/1), Realt Mor (33/1)

Verdict

Mr Showtime will be possibly allowed the lead here with Wakea and Housesofparliment close behind. The bottom weight Verona Opera could go well at a big price while the mount of Ruby Walsh, Golden Spear is sure to be of interest. A chance is taken with the gallant TOP OTHE RA who has been consistent all season and ticks a lot of boxes here.
  1. Top Othe Ra
  2. Housesofparliament
  3. Veinard
