Forecasts

Down Memory Lane (5/6), Mister Pink (5/2), Hilton De Chaillac (11/2), Park Annonciade (10/1), Golden Wonder's (14/1), Champagne Rocco (28/1), The Wallpark (50/1), Bective Bridge (50/1), Beeverstown Place (100/1), Ostend (150/1), Criminal Mischief (150/1), Shining Flame (150/1)

Verdict

DOWN MEMORY LANE won his only start between the flags and has been picked up by top connections since, so he's preferred to Mister Pink, who makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Park Annonciade is the pick of those with experience in bumpers.

  1. DOWN MEMORY LANE (IRE)
  2. MISTER PINK (IRE)
  3. PARK ANNONCIADE (FR)
