Forecasts

Indefatigable (11/10), Silver Forever (6/5), Cap Soleil (7/1), Fleur Irlandaise (10/1), Copper Gone West (16/1)

Just a small field but an interesting event nonetheless with Silver Forever looking to regain the winning thread stepping back up in trip after being beaten for pace over 2m last time. Conditions won’t worry her as she was placed on soft in a Listed mares’ bumper here last year. She may have to give best to the year older INDEFATIGABLE who produced her best run of the season last time out and looks ready to win again having jumped a lot better last time also. Cap Soleil would have to return to her best to take a hand and its Fleur Irlandaise who looks the main threat to the main two with this trip suiting her better than the 3m she tried last time.
