Forecasts

Majborough (6/4), Marine Nationale (2/1), Found A Fifty (9/2), Solness (8/1), Only By Night (12/1), Hercule Du Seuil (33/1), Captain Guinness (40/1)

Verdict

MARINE NATIONALE is taken to complete a Grade 1 hat-trick on his reappearance, although Majborough would be a huge threat with anything like a clean round of jumping. Found A Fifty has returned better than ever, including defeating Majborough at Cork, and should also be on the premises.
