Forecasts

Sail Away (9/4), Finn Lough (11/4), Fantastic Lady (10/3), The Wolf (4/1), Only The Bold (10/1), Stormin Crossgales (40/1)

Not the easiest race to assess and it could pay to side with ONLY THE BOLD who showed some promise on his first run for Jamie Snowden and can now capitalise on a lenient mark. Top-weight Fantastic Lady could emerge as the main danger ahead of Finn Lough.
