Forecasts

Wilberdragon (2/1), Sonny The One (9/2), Huff And Puff (9/2), Ballinvarrig (5/1), Lost Legend (7/1), Mister Grez (14/1), King Of The Wolds (16/1), Ulis De Vassy (50/1)

Verdict

This is not an easy race to weigh up, with several of the runners having already won from higher marks, though likewise several not having won for some time. We will take a chance on Ballinvarrig to come back to form from what looks to be an attractive mark, with trip and ground apparently ideal for him. Huff And Puff went very well on his return from an absence at Wetherby last time, though it may have been the day to catch him fresh and a 6lb rise will not help matters. Wilberdragon has not yet performed to his potential over fences, but he showed better signs here last time and he should be competing for the frame along with Mister Grez and Sonny The One. 1. Ballinvarrig 2. Huff And Puff 3. Wilberdragon
