Forecasts

Happy Jacky (5/6), Castlegrace Paddy (5/2), San Salvador (11/4), Midnight Run (3/1), Raven Rule (7/2), Trees Valley (16/1), Patrick Joseph (66/1), Titan Jack (200/1), Balaclava (200/1)

Though his jumps form falls shorts of what some of these rivals have achieved, HAPPY JACKY performed with credit on his sole previous start in this sphere and is appealing on the back of his hurdles success here in May. Castlegrace Paddy is a highly talented chaser, but he may find things happening too quickly on his belated Flat debut, which leaves the Joseph O'Brien trained duo, Midnight Run and San Salvador, as the main dangers, in that order of preference.
