Forecasts

Diamond Cutter (13/8), Mellow Magic (85/40), Saratoga Gold (9/2), Tralee Hills (5/1), Winklevi (9/1), Nellie Moon (11/1), Cherry Cola (28/1), Systemic (28/1)

Four of the last five winners of this were aged seven or over and the 8-y-o TRALEE HILLS is appealing on the back of an encouraging reappearance in the 11.4f Windsor handicap won by Mellow Magic. He is now 4 lb better off with that rival and should appreciate this step back up in trip. Diamond Cutter probably found 2m on slow ground too much of a test at Nottingham on his final start of last season and he is second choice ahead of Saratoga Gold.
