Forecasts

Msassa (7/4), Azua Emery (3/1), Veneer Of Charm (10/3), Les Arceaux (7/2), Warnaq (7/2), Muzbid (8/1), Waterville Dancer (12/1), Gloves On (14/1), Ilikehim (40/1), Noble Intention (66/1), Buffalo Blues (66/1)

Verdict

A few of these bring some nice Flat form into the race, including Warnaq, a winner of a Naas maiden last time out, but preference is for MSASSA. This gelding by Sholokhov ran promisingly enough on his sole start in France. Having now been acquired by a top trainer in Willie Mullins everything looks set for him to run a big race here, following the footsteps of other French imports for this yard. Veneer Of Charm is narrowly preferred of the two Elliott runners, albeit mostly due to jockey bookings.
  1. Msassa
  2. Warnaq
  3. Veneer Of Charm
