Forecasts

Burning Victory (11/4), Folcano (8/1), Maze Runner (10/1), Duffle Coat (10/1), A Great View (11/1), Coventry (11/1), Damalisque (12/1), Dunboyne (12/1), Ballywilliam Boy (14/1), De Name Escapes Me (14/1), The Big Dog (16/1), Mars Harper (18/1), Barbary Master (20/1), Sassy Yet Classy (22/1), Doctor Duffy (28/1), Captain Kangaroo (28/1), The Jam Man (33/1), Wearapinkribbon (33/1), Commander Of Fleet (40/1), Dallas Des Pictons (40/1), Ciao Bella (40/1), Western Run (40/1), It Could Be You (100/1)

BURNING VICTORY ran a cracker when runner-up in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket and Willie Mullins' improving mare can go one better back in this sphere now her stamina is drawn out. Duffle Coat is another who arrives in good form from the level and this unbeaten hurdler is feared most. Coventry, Sassy Yet Classy and A Great View all need considering too in a cracking handicap.
