Forecasts

Verdict

This is a competitive field but FAKIR D'ALENE had loads up his sleeve when landing a novice at Down Royal last time and a mark of 132 may well underestimate him, so he's preferred to The Chapel Field, with Donkey Years regarded as a danger if the market speaks in his favour.

  1. FAKIR D'ALENE (FR)
  2. THE CHAPEL FIELD (IRE)
  3. DONKEY YEARS (IRE)
