Forecasts

Curroy Lady (6/4), Trubshaw (4/1), Whats New (9/2), Mischief Man (5/1), Immortal Jock (11/2), God The Highness (8/1), Echinacea (16/1), Show Your Workings (33/1)

Having caught the eye when sixth on his handicap bow over 10.4f at Down Royal, IMMORTAL JOCK is of strong interest with this sizeable step up in trip expected to be just what the doctor ordered. He shades preference ahead of Curroy Lady, who is taking a similarly significant leap distance-wise following her breakthough success in a 9.7f Ballinrobe handicap in June, but she also shapes as though stamina won't be an issue. Whats New is third choice, while Trubshaw is also respected.
