Forecasts

Jimmy Breekie (2/1), Golden Jeffrey (3/1), An Fear Ciuin (5/1), Air Squadron (5/1), Picture Painter (7/1), Largy Legs (16/1), Airdrigh (40/1), Final Reminder (50/1), Commercial Ruin (66/1), Queen Of Avalon (66/1), Your Preference (200/1)

Verdict

There are quite a few in here who would be better off in handicaps and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Jimmy Breekie could give away the weight all round although his mark of 125 looks a little inflated. Both Air Squadron (needs to jump better) and An Fear Ciuin would have a chance with Picture Painter also entering the mix and looking to improve again on his form so far. Most interesting though is the hurdling debutante GOLDEN JEFFREY who scored twice in bumpers and looks as though he could be useful over hurdles given what he’s done so far in his three bumper starts.
  1. Golden Jeffrey
  2. Picture Painter
  3. Jimmy Breekie
