Forecasts

Kalashnikov (3/1), Ex Patriot (6/1), Cepage (15/2), Ok Corral (15/2), Saint Calvados (8/1), Mister Whitaker (10/1), Poker Play (10/1), Magic Saint (11/1), Oldgrangewood (12/1), Ballyhill (16/1), Lalor (20/1), Outlander (66/1)

Verdict

It's hard to rule out the majority of these candidates but the tentative vote goes to three-time course and distance winner MISTER WHITAKER. Mick Channon's eight-year-old has only been put up 4lb for his success here when last seen and he managed to win when fresh on his seasonal reappearance last season. Saint Calvados shouldn't be ruled out in a race of this nature while Poker Play might enjoy a less demanding trip.
  1. Mister Whitaker
