Forecasts

Classic Jewel (9/4), Irish Octave (3/1), Dick Darsie (10/3), Packettotherafters (6/1), Brown Trix (6/1), Brown Revel (33/1), Trillerin Minella (50/1), Spanish Optimist (100/1), Flichity (100/1)

Irish Octave and Classic Jewel have C&D winning form and both remain feasibly treated in what appears an uncompetitive contest. DICK DARSIE is less exposed than most in this and lines up having been well supported in three of his four starts over fences. Conditions have probably been softer than ideal judged on his point-to-point exploits and a career low mark makes him worth selecting despite a seven month break.
