Forecasts

At The Acorn (3/1), The Long Mile (10/3), Wrong Direction (9/2), Glorious Galway (11/2), Diamond Turf (8/1), Isle Of Destiny (10/1), Brex Drago (10/1), Bentham (25/1), Grand Partner (33/1)

ISLE OF DESTINY gets the nod here based on her win at Down Royal late last month. The mare took a while to get the hang of things over fences but with that confidence boosting win under her belt there may be more to come. If The Long Mile was a more competent jumper then he would have been a confident selection for this contest. He won last time out despite his jumping. If Grand Partner can bounce back to the form he showed in 2018 then he would have every chance at these weights. Any prolonged market support may suggest connections think he is back to his old self despite poor recent performances.
