Forecasts
Krazy Paving (7/4), Your Pal Tal (7/2), Aragon Knight (15/2), Porto Ferro (8/1), Monarch Maid (10/1), Noble Deed (10/1), Frank The Barber (11/1), Wild Flower (16/1), Gorgeous (16/1), Malaysian Boleh (20/1), Mercers (20/1), Nag's Wag (33/1)
Another moderate affair, but an interesting enough race nevertheless with the Irish raider Your Pal Tal firmly respected against these rivals. He was far better than these horses once upon a time, and his trainer perhaps sensibly offers him some variety away from Dundalk in a bid to thwart a win-less sequence. Frank The Barber perhaps isn't the most willing conveyance, but he tends to perform well at this track and he merits respect from a low draw, but the tentative selection is NOBLE DEED. He is 2lb better off with his recent C&D conqueror Krazy Paving (since switched to Olly Murphy), and that improved showing represented a clear return to form. His current handicap mark of 50 looks exploitable when you consider that he was twice narrowly denied over this C&D from 11lb higher as recently as April and May 2017.
