Forecasts

Star Zinc (10/3), Charencey (7/2), Power of Darkness (4/1), Irish Flame (5/1), Mark's Choice (15/2), Magical Max (14/1), Sibyl Charm (16/1), Jahidin (18/1), Alethiometer (25/1), Leap Day (33/1), No Saint (40/1), Shaw Park (66/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but IRISH FLAME can boast a course win and arrives on the back of a good fourth here last time out so gets the nod off the same mark. Fellow course scorer Charencey arrives on the up and is next on the list, with No Saint not taken lightly either now starting out with Sam England.
