Another very open-looking handicap but Duke Of Navan, who finished ahead of Miss Amelia last time, isn’t getting any younger and Thecraicisninety will clearly need to improve on a first run for new connections at Warwick. Solar Impulse looks to be regressing and Boagrius hasn’t been in the best of form with Court Royale also disappointing in his last two starts. BALLYVIC BORU ran well on his reappearance and is back on a winning mark so could be the one to be on ahead of Jaboticaba, who had excuses last time at Ayr, and the mare Diva De Vassy.
