Forecasts

Cabeza De Llave (5/2), Startling (10/3), General Assembly (4/1), Level Up (11/2), Dark Side Prince (6/1), Fancy Dancer (10/1), Juno Star (10/1), One For Harvey (14/1), Harry Brown (22/1), Nad Alshiba Snow (22/1), Shalaa Asker (40/1)

Verdict

A deserved success beckons for CABEZA DE LLAVE, who shaped better than the bare result when third to Startling over C&D last month and, now 4 lb better off with that rival and handed a better draw this time, the 6-y-o is taken to emerge on top. Dark Side Prince is broadly consistent and is second choice ahead of General Assembly and the aforementioned Startling.

  1. CABEZA DE LLAVE
  2. DARK SIDE PRINCE
  3. GENERAL ASSEMBLY (IRE)
