Forecasts

Addragoole (11/10), Blaze The Way (11/4), Workahead (3/1), But What (10/3), Jersey Des Brosses (7/2), Sheriffhill (16/1), Bayrann (18/1), Bridie's Beau (18/1), I Ballyadam Moon (25/1), Whatsanotheryear (25/1), Mollys Kingdom (33/1), Monroes Hollow (66/1), Phildante (80/1), Roc My Haarth (80/1), Frenchfort Legend (200/1), Light Of Life (200/1), Eugenious (250/1)

If the market vibes surrounding WORKAHEAD are positive the hint should be taken. Indeed, he did the job well when scoring on his sole start between the flags and is armed with plenty of potential now embarking on a career under Rules. Addragoole is the clear pick of those with experience and he is the main danger, while the likes of Blaze The Way, But What, Jersey Des Brosses and Whatsanotheryear are all open to improvement.
