Forecasts

Belgravia (11/10), Naughty Or Nice (4/1), Grandee (6/1), Finn McCool (8/1), Haripour (8/1), World War (12/1), Three Jacks (20/1)

Verdict

BELGRAVIA got off the mark at the third attempt when winning at Leopardstown earlier this month and can take this 1m5f Listed contest here. The selection raced prominently on that occasion and should be capable of better judged on his breeding. Naughty Or Nice made a winning debut at Gowran Park last month and is another who's breeding suggests that this test of stamina will suit while the maiden Haripour ran well behind a subsequent Group 3 winner last time out and can claim third today.
