Forecasts

A Perfect Day (9/4), King Of The Lake (5/1), Gowel Road (11/2), Firestream (13/2), Ambion View (7/1), Keable (10/1), Gold In The Rivers (10/1), Stone's Throw (11/1), American Mike (20/1), Monmiral (25/1), Rickety Bridge (25/1), Green Book (33/1)

Verdict

This looks wide open but Ben Clarke's A PERFECT DAY rates just the pick of the weights and remains with few miles on the clock so is taken to go 3-5 at the chief expense of hat-trick seeking Stone's Throw who rates a big threat. In-form top-weight Gowel Road seems sure to be on the premises back in handicap company, while Ambion View, King Of The Lake and Keable also need factoring in too.

  1. A PERFECT DAY (IRE)
  2. STONE'S THROW
  3. GOWEL ROAD (IRE)
