6-4 Some Day Soon (IRE), 5-2 Eglantine du Seuil (FR), 3-1 Presentandcounting (IRE), 11-1 Forecast (GB)
RACE SUMMARY:
PRESENTANDCOUNTING has to give weight away all round but his impressive jumping is likely to put pressure on his less efficient rivals and he’s likely to prove hard to pass in front. Some Day Soon is a danger after a ready C&D success, while Eglantine du Seuil also has more to offer as a chaser, so it should be a fascinating contest.
