Forecasts

Superstylin (9/4), Easter Icon (9/2), Blue Universe (6/1), Hiero Sport (8/1), Calshot Spit (8/1), Nelson Gate (17/2), Jefe Triunfo (9/1), Spanish Dancer (12/1), Dontaskchris (18/1), Bread And Butter (20/1), Bushstreet Bowman (25/1), Chosen Bae (50/1), My Lovely Horse (50/1)

Verdict

In receipt of a handy weight-for-age allowance on handicap bow, NELSON GATE is narrowly preferred to Superstylin, who may make a bold bid from his lower hurdles mark. Lightly-raced 7-y-o Spanish Dancer is another to note in an open-looking race.

  1. NELSON GATE (IRE)
  2. SUPERSTYLIN (IRE)
  3. SPANISH DANCER (FR)
