Forecasts

Longshanks (2/1), Morfee (3/1), Fulgurix (4/1), Getmegold (5/1), Madera Mist (13/2), Endless Flight (12/1), Roccowithlove (12/1), Red Happy (28/1), Paradise Island (33/1), Menapian (66/1), Affoburg (80/1)

Verdict

The one with the most appealing claims is LONGSHANKS, who put in a more assured round of jumping on his fourth start in this sphere when finding just one too good last time at Ffos Las where subsequent winner Yggdrasil was four lengths adrift in third. Morfee's latest effort here represented a step back in the right direction and he is second choice ahead of Getmegold and Fulgurix.
