Forecasts

Vanishing Point (13/8), Aherlow (5/2), Conna Cross (7/2), Louie The Second (6/1), Walkers Point (16/1), Alamgiyr (33/1), Charlie Brown (50/1), Lucky Robin (50/1), Mister Minor (66/1), Mister Buddy (100/1)

Verdict

Not a strong event and only a handful to consider. CONNA CROSS won't mind how much rain falls and stays the trip well, so has more going for her than a few here, and can get on the scoresheet. Aherlow wouldn't need much more improvement on her debut sixth at Fairyhouse to get involved and he and Vanishing Point, who has a slight question mark as far as this trip goes, can contest the places.
  1. Conna Cross
  2. Aherlow
  3. Vanishing Point
