Forecasts

Solar Impulse (7/2), Miss Amelia (4/1), Duke Of Navan (9/2), Ballyvic Boru (7/1), Boagrius (7/1), Court Royale (9/1), Jaboticaba (9/1), Thecraicisninety (20/1), Diva De Vassy (22/1)

A competitive-looking handicap in which it may pay to side with BALLYVIC BORU. A winner from this mark at Wetherby in October, he shaped as if he'd come on for last month's reappearance effort at Kelso and, back under Brian Hughes, a good showing is expected. A short break may have helped Jaboticaba and he is feared, ahead of Solar Impulse and veteran Duke of Navan.
