Forecasts

Kapal Layar (3/1), Personal Ambition (4/1), Florida Dreams (5/1), Siog Geal (13/2), Hartington (7/1), Dedicated Hero (11/1), Nurse Susan (11/1), Nells Son (14/1), Karafon (20/1), Faivoir (28/1), Jericoacoara (40/1)

Verdict

Preference is for SIOG GEAL, who still showed signs of inexperience when scoring at Newbury in March and returns on a handy mark. Kapal Layar also appeals as a likely improver and is feared most, whilst Personal Ambition looks nicely handicapped returned to hurdling and could prove dangerous.

  1. SIOG GEAL (IRE)
  2. KAPAL LAYAR (IRE)
  3. PERSONAL AMBITION (IRE)
