Forecasts
Texas Jack (9/4), Kilford (7/2), Folsom Blue (4/1), Canaly (9/2), Some Drama (5/1), Mtada Supreme (10/1)
Last year's winner Kilford faces a tough challenge to score again amongst some rivals in good form. Canaly won well around Punchestown in January, form that sees him well ahead of Some Drama, and a repeat of that effort will stand him well now. Folsom Blue ought to find this more to his liking than some of the recent fields he has raced in but the manner of TEXAS JACK's Fairyhouse win last month strongly suggests he will cope with conceding weight to these four rivals and make a winning starts in veterans races.
- Texas Jack
- Canaly
