Track: Good 4 Weather: Showers

North England was beaten on debut but it was a solid effort. Sets up well in this with Tim Clark doing the steering. Will take beating yet again in this suitable field. Tupakara should do no work from barrier 1 and will be hard to hold out in this suitable affair. O’Ole ran second on debut and put in a very good effort. Wouldn’t have to improve much to take beating in this.

1. Gaeilge (7)

Sound on debut but much more depth here. Place chance in this field.

2. North England (3)

Loved its effort on debut and sets up nicely in this. Drawn well from barrier 3 and will take holding out with Tim Clark in the saddle. The stable are on fire and this looks its race.

3. Chicama (9)

First starter and stable mate to the favourite. A recent trial was rock solid and the early market support is interesting. Keep safe.

4. Extractor (5)

Can’t have.

5. West Of Swindon (8)

Trials have been good and has been well tried in early markets. Should give this a shake with even luck from the barrier.

6. O’ Ole (6)

Sound effort on debut running second and a recent trial was tidy. Can win.

7. Icarian Dream (4)

Won narrowly on debut. Harder here but has the runs on the board and is worth thought from the good draw.

8. Lapis Lazuli (2)

Can’t have.

9. Tupakara (1)

Was 2 lengths behind the 6 on debut and maps for a good run from barrier 1. Can take this out with natural progression.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.
