Forecasts

Ena Baie (13/8), Majestic Touch (7/4), Sizing Granite (9/4), Irish Prophecy (4/1), Timeforben (9/2), Innocent Touch (10/1)

Verdict

The absence of Ena Baie now makes this a weak contest for the grade and although listed as a 0-150 is in fact a 0-135. Innocent Touch reverting to hurdles looks well handicapped on the balance of his hurdling form although this trip may well test his stamina; this is 5f further than he’s gone before. The relative handicaps mark for SIZING GRANITE say that he’s a better chaser than hurdler but his recent decent run over fences may well have just set him up for this and he’s too well handicapped to ignore. Timeforben and Irish Prophecy both come with risks and the biggest danger looks to be Majestic Touch who may well have needed his comeback run and does have course experience.
