Forecasts

Hello Jack (4/1), The Gradual Slope (4/1), Brucejack (5/1), Beggars Rock (11/2), Aclass (6/1), Attaboyarchie (8/1), Reve Inoui (8/1), Goody Four Shoes (9/1), Neon Diamond (14/1), Millie B (14/1), Gatsby Grey (14/1), Tonaghneave Well (16/1)

Verdict

ACLASS is more consistent than most at this level and might be worth siding with on his return from a 3-month break. The Gradual Slope had plenty go his way when stopping the rot and winning at Fairyhouse last week but is clearly still well handicapped if able to back that up. Thorough stayer Brucejack is also in the mix.
