13/8
Has produced two solid and consistent runs without winning in February over 2m4f and 3m. May have to settle for a place again.

8/13
Never fully recovered when hampered at the second in the Grade 3 Coral Cup at the Cheltenham festival and immediately pulled up. Likely to be a warm order here.

25/1
Popular veteran who can still find the winning thread from time to time latest coming at Cork in January over the larger obstacles. Tough ask but sure to run his race.

Forecasts

Diamond King (8/13), Call The Taxie (13/8), Moonshine Bay (8/1), Jaime Sommers (20/1), Smokey Joe Joe (25/1)

Verdict

Fascinating tussle ahead that could turn in to a cat and mouse contest in the early stages with DIAMOND KING likely to hold all the aces over the consistent Call The Taxie and the potential improver Moonshine Bay. The selection will be no worse for wear for his Cheltenham festival exploits when hampered at the second in the Grade 3 Coral Cup and immediately pulled up.
  1. Diamond King
  2. Call The Taxie
  3. Moonshine Bay
