Forecasts
Road To Home (2/9), He's Bresilian (7/2), Kelvin Forlonge (12/1), Kingston Rock (20/1), Rogue Sea (25/1), Just Oot (80/1), Do Ye Wanna (125/1), Roxby Belle (125/1), Annies Gold (200/1), Woody's Boy (200/1)
It's hard to see this developing into anything other than a match between ROAD TO HOME and He's Bresilian. The former should be suited by the stiffer nature of this track having looked unsuited by the drop in trip when shaping promisingly on his second hurdling start at Naas the previous month, so he edges the vote.
- ROAD TO HOME (IRE)
- HE'S BRESILIAN
- ROGUE SEA
