Forecasts

Thread Of Gold (3/1), Kingstonian (9/2), Fixation (17/2), Night Moon (9/1), Shaool (10/1), Mr Vettori (10/1), The Real Screamer (10/1), Navy Waters (11/1), Immutable (12/1), This Songisforyou (12/1), Touch The Moon (20/1), Chica Guerrera (20/1), Port Of Spain (22/1), Tribal Star (28/1), Narlita (33/1), Dawn Rising (33/1), Satono Chevalier (40/1), Mo Ghille Mar (80/1)

Verdict

A competitive handicap with several having claims. Preference is for Willie Mullins' THREAD OF GOLD, who has few miles on the clock and is open to improvement, particularly now trying this longer trip. Fixation may do best of the remainder from Touch The Moon, with Port Of Spain another to consider back down in grade.

  1. THREAD OF GOLD (IRE)
  2. FIXATION (IRE)
  3. TOUCH THE MOON (IRE)
