Forecasts

Viscountess Nelson (4/9), Celtic Alliance (7/4), Dunsy Rock (2/1), Frankies Fortune (16/1), Oor Wish (22/1), Sagonige (33/1), Aristelle (125/1), Quinnfinity (150/1), Bracing Brook (250/1)

Verdict

Irish challenger DUNSY ROCK has to concede weight all round but still looks the way to go on the back of an emphatic Fairyhouse success with this longer trip also a plus. Nicky Henderson's Viscountess Nelson made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Plumpton and rates the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate Celtic Alliance.

  1. DUNSY ROCK (IRE)
  2. VISCOUNTESS NELSON (IRE)
  3. CELTIC ALLIANCE (IRE)
