Forecasts

Kings Champion (11/4), Coco Masterpiece (3/1), Sleedagh (7/2), Saint Malinas (9/2), Blofeld (9/1), Cushendun (9/1), Solid Performer (18/1), Canunclecani (28/1), Wherearethejudges (100/1), Coylton King (150/1), Rock On Max (200/1)

Verdict

Several with possibilities in this opening maiden. The longer trip promises to suit KINGS CHAMPION so he gets the nod for Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen. Saint Malinas is interesting on his first run for Nicky Richards and is second choice ahead of Solid Performer and Sleedagh.

  1. KINGS CHAMPION (FR)
  2. SAINT MALINAS (IRE)
  3. SOLID PERFORMER (IRE)
