Forecasts

So Many Roads (5/2), Glentruan (11/2), Foster'sisland (7/1), Socks Off (9/1), Big Bresil (10/1), Barony Legends (10/1), Coral Blue (11/1), Fenna's Loss (14/1), Moonlight Spirit (16/1), Cave Court (16/1), Okavango Delta (18/1), Lissen To The Lady (20/1), Minella Youngy (28/1), Curious Times (66/1), Gladiatorial (66/1)

Verdict

SO MANY ROADS took a big step forward when scoring emphatically on his handicap debut over C&D and a 5 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to provent him from following up after a break. Coral Blue comes here at the top of his game and in next on the list despite taking a 6 lb rise for his Musselburgh success. Minella Youngy and Socks Off complete the shortlist.

  1. SO MANY ROADS
  2. CORAL BLUE (IRE)
