Forecasts

Ornua (4/9), Capeland (2/1), Our Three Sons (8/1), Rossetti (14/1)

Top weight ORNUA is a first runner at this venue for his leading Irish trainer and he can record a second chase victory in this four runner contest. The forecast ground conditions should suit and he can get the better of Capeland who shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in distance. The veteran Rossetti can get the better of Our Three Sons in the battle for third.
