Forecasts

Arctic Gold (8/11), Ballyben (7/2), Urtheoneiwant (9/2), Carrigdhoun (9/1)

Verdict

A difficult race despite the small field with Urtheoneiwant having the advantage of race fitness over her three rivals. However, whilst the Elliott and Johnson partnership should always be feared, she doesn't look the most consistent mare overall and perhaps a couple of the others have more potential. Arctic Gold will almost certainly win his share of races over fences with time, but he lacks the experience of BALLYBEN. The Malcolm Jefferson trained nine-year-old proved himself to be a fair Northern staying handicap chaser in the latter half of 2016, and despite a quiet time this calendar year so far, could prove sharp enough to score back from a summer break on ground which should suit.
  1. Ballyben
  2. Arctic Gold
  3. Urtheoneiwant
