Forecasts

Not A Bad Oul Day (6/4), New Abbey Angel (3/1), Duncan Of Scotland (6/1), In Focus (8/1), Norville (9/1), Joyful Star (11/1), Gone With The Wind (12/1), Rioja Day (25/1), Rajapur (33/1)

Not many solid options in this race and it’s hard to be definitive about the outcome with a few returning from breaks. Gone With The Wind is still well handicapped and his yard have been going well of late and he’s of interest along with In Focus. Joyful Star gives the impression that there is a bigger run on him but he might just need this and it may be better to rely on the fitness of NOT A BAD OUL DAY as he attempts to repeat his Gowran Park win. New Abbey Angel is likely to be on the premises but he’s flattered to deceive on more than one occasion now and is a hard one to place much faith in.
