Forecasts

Never Up (5/2), Crookstown (9/2), De Faoithesdream (6/1), Astracad (6/1), Mont Royale (7/1), Purple 'n Gold (8/1), Solar Impulse (10/1), Next Sensation (12/1)

Not a very appealing betting contest to end the eight race card with and solid options are in short supply. The presence of Next Sensation and De Faoithesdream ensure that this should be run at a good pace although they could end up taking one another on and setting the race up for a closer. There are a few in this that are likely to travel off a strong pace it just becomes a question of how much will they find when asked for their effort with Crookstown and Purple ‘N Gold coming under that banner. Never Up is another that may well get involved up front and while ASTRACAD jumped poorly last time out he has shown himself capable of winning still and is back on his last winning mark.
