Betting Breakdown

Tote Win:£2.20EX:£3.80Trifecta:£11.40SF:£4.15

Forecasts

Shighness (6/5), Eureka Creek (9/4), Eleanor Bob (3/1), West Lawn (22/1)

Verdict

EUREKA CREEK is nicely handicapped and took a firm step back in the right direction when third at Cheltenham 49 days ago, so she's worth siding with in this less competitive scenario, with the step back up in trip unlikely to pose a problem. Shighness is the main danger although Eleanor Bob should take a hand if she can put a poor run behind her.

  1. EUREKA CREEK (IRE)
  2. SHIGHNESS
  3. ELEANOR BOB
