View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Dermot Weld has traditionally done well in this race and his representative ABBOTSFORD(14) looks the one to beat. Despite the obvious concern of a wide draw, the Frankel gelding could prove a bit better than this grade. Staying on strongly when just denied at Cork last time, the three-year-old should appreciate stepping up in trip here. Provided he can get a prominent early position from his poor berth, he should go close. Dual bumper winner Sunny South West shouldn't be far away. Runner-up on his Flat debut at Killarney last time, the Eddie Power-trained gelding has bright prospects. UK raider New Bay Star is an intriguing runner from the Mick Appleby yard.
