Forecasts

Euchan Falls (10/3), Heros De Moutiers (4/1), Smart Boyo (5/1), Paramaribo (11/2), Northern Falcon (7/1), Getabeau (9/1), Its A Midnight (12/1), Ultra Violet (14/1), Diamant Sur Canape (20/1), Charlie's Rockstar (33/1), Nights Of Doyen (66/1), Worldly Approach (150/1)

Verdict

The booking of Brian Hughes for GETABEAU looks potentially significant so he's the suggestion in this open handicap. Euchan Falls has shown he can impact from his mark and is second choice ahead of Phil Kirby's Smart Boyo, who promises to be suited by this return to a shorter trip.

  1. GETABEAU (IRE)
  2. EUCHAN FALLS (IRE)
  3. SMART BOYO
