Forecasts

Halsafari (10/3), Spare Brakes (7/2), From Eden (11/2), Velocity Boy (6/1), Pound A Stroke (6/1), Roconga (15/2), Dakota Moirette (12/1), Shrewdoperator (25/1)

DAKOTA MOIRETTE may have been kept on the go in 2019 suffering defeats well into the summer. The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding can get back on track here on return to action in a contest he finished third of eight in 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark. The seven-year-old can get back to winning ways ahead of the Robert Tyner-trained Spare Brakes who appears an interesting contender returning over the larger obstacles. Course winner Halsafari, the J P McManus-owned Roconga, Pound A Stroke on handicap debut and top weight From Eden should not be taken lightly.
