Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer⁽³⁾| T: Caroline Mccaldin

200/1

Bowerman¹⁴

2/1

Useful gelding who enhanced good course record when landing 7-runner minor event over 10.7f 14 days ago, all out to hold on. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 4008-21

9/2

Useful gelding who landed back-to-back minor events at Galway/Punchestown (at upto 9f) last summer. Not disgraced in higher grade thereafter and fancied to go well on return.

San Andreas²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Jake Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 105| CD

8/11

Useful gelding. C&D winner. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 10 in Group 2 at Doha (1m) 3 weeks ago, staying on well final 1f. Big shout on these terms provided he keeps the slow starts at bay.

Form: 2433-43

Forecasts

San Andreas (8/11), Bowerman (2/1), Meishar (4/1), Casanova (9/2), Ballymist (200/1), Cula Bula Mamool (200/1)

SAN ANDREAS needs to keep the slow starting at bay but he undoubtedly holds excellent claims on these terms and earns the vote to come out on top. The Adrian McGuinness' trained pair Bowerman and Casanova can give the selection most to think about.
