Forecasts

Wasdale Park (11/4), John Adams (3/1), Double Jubilee (5/1), Bloodstone (11/2), Sporting Leader (9/1), Fly Little Bird (10/1), Champagne Monarch (11/1), Gaius De Marcigny (22/1), Worth Presenting (50/1), Gipsy Rhyme (125/1), Silver Barrel (400/1)

This represents a good opportunity for WASDALE PARK to get off the mark. He took a step firmly back in the right direction when second of 18 upped to 3m at Cork last month and this further increase in trip should be right up his street. John Adams has hit the crossbar on his last 2 starts and can be expected to give another good account, while Champagne Monarch is a viable each-way option.
