Forecasts

Caer (9/10), Carrie Des Champs (7/2), Havingagoodtime (4/1), Effernock Fizz (8/1), Maricruz (16/1), Natures Blossom (100/1)

Verdict

Havingagoodtime would be the logical choice here on the strength of a graded success around Aintree in the spring but she needs to banish the memories of a poor run at Killarney most recently and is therefore opposed with Gordon Elliott's CARRIE DES CHAMPS. She's got the winning habit and while this is tougher than her novice hurdle win at Southwell, she looks capable of better still. Caer is also improving and is on the shortlist after a decisive win at Sligo.
  1. Carrie Des Champs
  2. Havingagoodtime
  3. Caer
