Betting Forecast

7/2 Hale End, 6/1 Krissy, 25/1 Cisco Disco, 6/1 Donna Nook, 9/1 Benacre, 4/1 Runninsonofagun, 5/1 Mayor Of Maghera, 6/1 Starliner, 33/1 Keep Me Stable

Verdict

Krissy is likely to face competition for the lead but Jim Goldie’s progressive mare could still have more to offer. The class-dropping Benacre (second choice) should have a big run in him but the return to Class 5 company can see 2024 winner HALE END (nap) gain his second victory of the year.[Paul Smith]
