Forecasts

Charlie Buckett (5/4), Purse Price (7/4), On Lovers Walk (11/4), Penalty Try (20/1), La Tene (22/1), Sharetheknowledge (50/1), I Owe You One (50/1), Boston Bongo (80/1), Kilbride Hill (125/1), Diduhearabourichie (150/1)

Verdict

PURSE PRICE is pretty exposed now but she's been found a race lacking strength in depth and the 7 lb she receives from On Lovers Walk may prove to be decisive. Charlie Buckett was backed as though thought capable of winning a bumper on debut and it will be fascinating to see whether he's supported again.

  1. PURSE PRICE
  2. ON LOVERS WALK (IRE)
