Forecasts

William Cody (9/4), All Dancer (10/3), Smoking Pigeon (7/2), Airtothethrone (9/2), Icaque De L'isle (11/1), River Tyne (16/1), Drop Him In (20/1), The Knot Is Tied (40/1)

Verdict

This looks wide open and it could just be worth chancing 4-y-o ICAQUE DE L'ISLE. He failed to meet expectations on his British debut at Ffos Las early on last month but this drop back in trip/refitting of a tongue tie both rate positives and better can be expected. Tim Vaughan's Airtothethrone is also high on the shortlist, with chase-debutant Drop Him In and William Cody others to consider.

  1. ICAQUE DE L'ISLE (FR)
  2. AIRTOTHETHRONE (IRE)
  3. DROP HIM IN (IRE)
