Forecasts

No Walkover (6/4), Risky Obsession (10/3), Trojan Tale (6/1), Smile John Boy (15/2), No Way Jay (17/2), A Likeable Rogue (12/1), Governors Rock (12/1), Half Hoping (16/1), Wonder Flying (22/1), Get Out Of My Way (33/1), Not Without Danger (33/1)

Verdict

RISKY OBSESSION looked a most promising sort when readily accounting for Smile John Boy at Warwick and looks sure to go on to better things now stepping up in grade. No Walkover proved his Chepstow scramble hadn't done him full justice when running out a clear-cut winner under a penalty at Aintree and is much respected bidding for a hat-trick, with Trojan Tale another fascinating contender having created a fine impression first time up at Wincanton.

  1. RISKY OBSESSION (IRE)
  2. NO WALKOVER
  3. TROJAN TALE (IRE)
