Forecasts
Destrier (5/4), Eamon An Cnoic (5/1), Ballywood (11/2), Croco Bay (10/1), Northern Beau (12/1), Art Of Payroll (14/1), Theinval (14/1), The Bay Birch (16/1)
The form claims of Destrier clearly stand out in this race having been placed in the Haldon Gold Cup last time behind two very capable sorts and the fact that he returns to race left-handed can only be a bonus. However, BALLYWOOD just makes a shade more appeal on the back of his promising effort at Ascot last time and with prominently ridden Grand Annual winner Croco Bay in the field this race could set up perfectly for him. Theinval will surely be of more interest in the spring but a market move for Art Of Payroll should be noted. He travelled well here on his penultimate outing over 4f further and although he disappointed when last seen another wind op may have sorted the problem.
- Ballywood
