Forecasts

Verdict

ACE AUSSIE shaped very well behind subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Poetic Flare at Leopardstown 4 weeks ago, so he makes lots of appeal on that piece of form now stepping up to a more suitable trip. Raise You proved better than ever to land a competitive handicap at the Curragh on his reappearance and is considered the main threat ahead of Erzindjan, who may do better still.
