Forecasts

The Big Clubman (2/1), County Final (9/4), Yeshil (4/1), Santo Sospir (4/1), Kazansky (9/2), Barra Rua (8/1)

Verdict

An interesting race, all of these appealing as open to some kind of improvement, but THE BIG CLUBMAN sets the standard on his second in the Monksfield and Paul Nolan's gelding should have the longer trip in his favour. County Final is most feared after a good effort in handicap company last time, with Santo Sospir also shortlisted.

  1. THE BIG CLUBMAN (IRE)
  2. COUNTY FINAL (IRE)
  3. SANTO SOSPIR (FR)
