Forecasts

Take Heart (11/4), Nakasero (4/1), Tyson Fury (4/1), Quatre Bras (5/1), Genoah (6/1), Old Peculier (6/1), Final Voyage (11/1), Beauparc (14/1), Dahab (16/1), Loyal Touch (20/1), Money Dancer (25/1), Pepper Noir (40/1)

Verdict

TAKE HEART struggled earlier this season but shows signs of revival since headgear was fitted and this previous course winner has a handy mark to exploit back in Ireland for his new yard. Nakasero has built a good AW record and narrowly missed out over C&D recently, while Quatre Bras remains in fine form with impressive recent results including a C&D win a month ago.
