Forecasts

Inch Rise (7/2), Oscar Lantern (5/1), Une Lavandiere (5/1), Routes Choice (11/2), Tyrrell's Succes (11/2), Swingbridge (6/1), Capture The Drama (12/1), As De Pique (25/1), Freewheelin Dylan (25/1)

Hard to rule anything in or out of this chase with total confidence but there could be some value in siding with INCH RISE. Still lightly-raced for a nine-year-old, he shaped as though the penny was finally beginning to drop with him over fences when third in a handicap over 2m4f at Cork recently and, having won over 3m as a hurdler, this step up in trip should elicit further improvement. Swingbridge and Une Lavandiere look most interesting of the remainder.
