Forecasts

Verdict

A wide-open renewal of the Eider. SALTY BOY has been brought along steadily for new connections and this gutsy chaser is well worth siding with now he gets the chance to tackle a marathon trip. Crosspark took this event when it was last run in 2019 and another bold showing is on the cards given his fine recent form, while Strong Economy and Little Red Lion are outsiders worth a second look too.

  1. SALTY BOY (IRE)
  2. CROSSPARK
