Betting Forecast:

7-2 Max of Stars (FR), 9-2 Allbetsoff (IRE), 13-2 Eagle’s Realm (GB), Zamond (FR), 7-1 Choirmaster (GB), 8-1 McGowan’s Pass (GB), 20-1 Stonific (IRE), 22-1 Allibaba (GB), 28-1 Melnik (IRE), 50-1 Calum Gilhooley (IRE)

Race Summary:

MAX OF STARS hasn’t looked back since sent hurdling and is fancied to make it 3-4 now going into handicaps off a lenient opening mark. Allbetsoff is in great nick too though so should ensure Ollie Pears’filly doesn’t have things all her own way, with Eagle’s Realm and Choirmaster in the mix too.
