Forecasts

Megalomaniac (2/1), Noureev (7/2), Gracious Gamble (4/1), Chapati (6/1), Lady V (8/1), Chin'up (10/1), Midnight Surprise (16/1), Do As You Wish (20/1), Costalita (25/1), Ask Your Mother (25/1), Felicity's Choice (33/1), Georgia Grace (50/1), Lizavoura (66/1)

Verdict

Not a strong contest, seemingly, and a chance is taken that the jumping of hurdles will bring about more from LADY V, well held so far in bumpers. She's bred for this challenge and Keith Donohue is in excellent form (4-13). Megalomaniac took a step in the right direction at Wexford recently and can have a say while the returning Chin'up and Midnight Surprise are worth monitoring in the betting.
  1. Lady V
  2. Megalomaniac
  3. Chin'up
