Forecasts

Kalum River (3/1), Makka Pakka (4/1), Lady Ischia (9/2), Mason Jar (11/2), Jeremys Dream (8/1), Seeyouinvinnys (8/1), Castlebellingham (8/1), Askann (12/1), Montagne D'Argent (14/1), Mister Eddman (16/1), The Kitchenmecanic (50/1), Ashton Court (50/1), Briggitie's Hill (66/1), Youcanttouchthis (66/1)

Verdict

Jeremys Dream has yet to get going but no doubt Gordon Elliott can find a race for her soon, while Kalum River on the other hand is somewhat consistent and capable of being in the mix here. Both Montagne D'Argent and Castlebellingham are potential improvers upped in distance but ASKANN was running an eye-catching race at Navan in December before she swerved late on and unseated today's rider (disputing the lead at time). She might be capable of a bold showing now for Mervyn Torrens at a track where he has done well in the past.
  1. Askann
  2. Kalum River
  3. Jeremys Dream
