Forecasts

Wise Eagle (11/4), Haizoom (7/2), Idilico (7/2), Gift Of Raaj (13/2), Two Auld Pals (15/2), Chuvelo (8/1), Manjaam (14/1), Cliffs Of Dooneen (100/1)

Verdict

MANJAAM is well treated and returned to form when runner-up at Carlisle last time so he's worth a chance to go one better at the likely expense of Wise Eagle, who drops in grade and should be back on his game. Two Auld Pals is another one to consider.

  1. MANJAAM (IRE)
  2. WISE EAGLE (IRE)
  3. TWO AULD PALS (IRE)
