Forecasts

Fiadh (4/1), Dillarchie (5/1), Rumble B (11/2), Braganza Bay (6/1), Storm Force One (7/1), Joanna I'm Fine (8/1), Classic Lady (9/1), Grand Du Nord (10/1), Just Jess (12/1), Doors Breaker (12/1), September Daisy (18/1), Velasco (20/1), Voyburg (22/1), Baby Jane (25/1), Songbird's Tale (66/1), Choungaya (150/1), Halfway House Lad (150/1)

Verdict

Plenty with chances but FIADH proved revitalised by the fitting of cheekpieces when going in over C&D and still looks handily weighted despite taking a 5 lb rise with the headgear crucially on again here. Joanna I'm Fine is feared most on the back of her recent breakthrough Ayr success, with in-form pair Rumble B and Dillarchie completing the shortlist.

  1. FIADH (IRE)
  2. JOANNA I'M FINE (IRE)
  3. RUMBLE B (IRE)
