Forecast Prices: Cranachan 3/1, Holy See 11/2, Granite Bay 6/1, Spirit Mixer 5/1, Stressfree 8/1, Dancing In Paris 10/1, Pole Star 12/1, Tribal Star 14/1, Shipshape 12/1, Gentle Warrior 25/1, Dunkeld Dreamer 33/1, Tashkhan 25/1
oddschecker Verdict
CRANACHAN relished the step up to 2m when scoring over C&D three weeks ago and, given the ease of that success, a 9lb rise may not be enough to stop the three-year-old from following up. Holy See hit the crossbar in a valuable event at Galway and is likely to be in the mix once again. Spirit Mixer has not been at his very best of late, but the veteran has landed the previous two renewals of this contest so should not be underestimated.
Prediction: 1st Cranachan, 2nd Holy See, 3rd Spirit Mixer
