Forecasts

Sargent Lightfoot (3/1), Happie Days (3/1), Mister Butler (7/1), Goulane Jessie (7/1), Grey Habit (7/1), Kellyiscool (11/1), Trickey Trix (14/1), Dedanann (14/1), Arctic Light (14/1), Lady Mccabe (16/1), Laid Back Luke (40/1), Rightback Atya (50/1), Miss Anfield (125/1), Haondotri (125/1)

Verdict

SARGENT LIGHTFOOT is at the top of his game and shaped best of those held up when fourth in a handicap at Limerick a couple of months ago, so he gets the vote in an open contest. Mister Butler is on a very appealing mark if he can replicate his recent chasing efforts, so he goes down as the main threat ahead of Grey Habit.

  1. SARGENT LIGHTFOOT (IRE)
  2. MISTER BUTLER (IRE)
  3. GOULANE JESSIE (IRE)
