BETTING FORECAST:

7-4 Captain Cobajay (IRE), 5-1 Costly Diamond (IRE), 13-2 Kapsize (FR), 15-2 Babytaggle (IRE), 12-1 Steeles Terrace (IRE), 18-1 Guns For Hire (IRE), Gaia Vallis (FR), 25-1 Genever Dragon (IRE), 33-1 Trio d’Ecajeul (FR), 300-1 St Merryn (IRE)

RACE SUMMARY:

Having justified strong support on debut for Justin Landy at Market Rasen last time, CAPTAIN COBAJAY seems quite a straightforward selection up against Costly Diamond once again. That pair may well dominate proceedings, although Steeles Terrace may have more to offer for Tony Carroll.
