Forecasts

Eddies Miracle (9/4), Chosen Dream (11/4), Clondaw Frisby (10/3), Cant Pay Wont Pay (8/1), Mullaghmurphy Blue (8/1), Strideout Euro (10/1), Miss Blanche (20/1), Isle Road (33/1), Lisnagreggan (33/1), Howwouldsheno (33/1), Broadmeadow Bridge (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these come into this off the back of decent efforts but CHOSEN DREAM looks to hold the strongest claims to the prize and can take this at the expense of the improving Eddies Miracle and Strideout Euro. Mullaghmurphy Blue and Can't Pay Won't Pay have met previously and both have claims, as does Clondaw Frisby if returning to his best form.
  1. Chosen Dream
  2. Eddies Miracle
  3. Strideout Euro
