Forecasts

Verdict

Marginal preference is for CAME FROM THE DARK who scored twice over C&D last season and signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up to Cound d'Orsay here last time. Tim Easterby's top weight is 2 lb worse off now but still feared most, especially if the ground eases noticeably. Dark Shot is another to consider under a penalty for his ready Leicester success.

  1. CAME FROM THE DARK (IRE)
  2. COUNT D'ORSAY (IRE)
  3. DARK SHOT
