Forecasts

Un De Sceaux (5/6), Doctor Phoenix (5/1), Coney Island (11/2), Kylemore Lough (13/2), Champagne West (10/1), A Toi Phil (12/1), Ballycasey (25/1), Fine Rightly (40/1)

Verdict

The Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham brought the first signs that Un De Sceaux is finally starting to wilt and the 'Iron Horse' is taken on here with CONEY ISLAND. His effort at Ascot last time was surely too bad to be true and this lightly-raced chaser will surely have plenty more to offer. He's got the stamina to burn off his rivals on this testing surface. Doctor Phoenix is improving all the time since joining Gordon Elliott and should be involved at the business end while British raider Kylemore Lough is capable of building a challenge over a C&D where he has excelled before.
  1. Coney Island
