Forecasts

Blue Rc (10/3), Grizedale (4/1), Asmen Warrior (11/2), Spanish Voice (13/2), Crown Board (9/1), Hickory (10/1), Christian David (11/1), Urban Lion (14/1), Frankies Dream (18/1), Salam Dubawi (22/1), Spoken Truth (25/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these but BLUE RC showed himself to be still on the up with an excellent second in the Hunt Cup over C&D last month and is hard to side against. Grizedale continues to impress and rates a big danger though in his bid for a third victory of 2026, while Hickory's good record here means he can't be ruled out either. Asmen Warrior completes the shortlist in a cracking handicap.

  1. BLUE RC (IRE)
  2. GRIZEDALE
  3. HICKORY (IRE)
