Forecasts

Benatar (4/6), Groundunderrepair (11/4), Up The Navan Road (7/1), Milzipa (8/1), Oakidoaki (9/1), Bellamy (11/1), Lough Derg Mystery (16/1), Alpha Indi (20/1), Homers Odyssey (25/1), Jebs Gamble (33/1), Faheem (33/1)

Verdict

Trainer Gary Moore has a good record here and with Jamie Moore booked to ride, a big run can be expected from BENATAR. Bellamy was well-backed last time out and it's likely he's showing ability in his homework so a better run may be incoming while the form of Up The Navan Road's bumper is working out well and he may be to get involved in the placings. 1. Benatar 2. Bellamy 3. Up The Navan Road
