Forecasts

Trilby (2/1), Jer Batt (4/1), Arklow Lad (5/1), Poatan (9/1), Advertised (10/1), Black Star Boy (10/1), Toyotomi (10/1), Elara May (14/1), Marching Mac (14/1), Sturlasson (28/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but TRILBY hasn't looked back since the cheekpieces went on and is fancied to garner a fourth victory of 2026, with conditions right in his favour at a track he goes well at. Elara May is feared most on the back of a very good Yarmouth second, although Arklow Lad and Advertised can both play a prominent role too.

  1. TRILBY
  2. ELARA MAY
  3. ARKLOW LAD (IRE)
