Forecasts

Glory Fighter (5/2), Isle Of Lismore (11/4), Militia (6/1), Mellys Flyer (6/1), John Kirkup (13/2), Dark Shot (7/1), Duke Of Firenze (40/1)

Verdict

A tightly-knit sprint in which ISLE OF LISMORE is fancied to capitalise on a reduced mark and bag a second C&D success having hinted strongly at a revival when fifth at Newmarket. Militia can also boast a C&D win and should go well too if, as expected, building on his recent Chester sixth. Course-winner Dark Shot and recent Musselburgh scorer John Kirkup also both need factoring in.

  1. Isle Of Lismore11/4
  2. Militia6/1
  3. Dark Shot7/1
