Forecasts

One More Fleurie (5/2), Bootlegger (3/1), Doyen Dancer (4/1), Normandy Soldier (8/1), Top Up The Fashion (10/1), Thelongwayaround (11/1), Enry Iggins (12/1), Finalshot (18/1)

Verdict

ONE MORE FLEURIE clocked a good time when opening his account at Warwick last week so is fancied to defy a 7 lb penalty for his in-form yard. Top Up The Fashion is still to get his head in front but weighted to have a say, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out some improvement, while Fergal O'Brien's chasing newcomer Doyen Dancer is not taken lightly either.

  1. ONE MORE FLEURIE (IRE)
  2. TOP UP THE FASHION (IRE)
  3. DOYEN DANCER (IRE)
