Forecasts

Lethal Steps (5/2), Dawn Delivers (5/2), Battle Of Jericho (7/2), Mattymolls Gaga (9/2), War Hero (14/1), Dowhatisay (14/1), Rince Deireanach (16/1), Messerati Kid (33/1), Pretty Boy Floyd (100/1)

Verdict

Battle of Jericho is well entered up and represents connections with a good history in this. The Balydoyle juveniles are yet to fire on all cylinders whilst Jessica Harrington has unleashed a strong set of youngsters. Mattymolls Gaga has a speedy pedigree and the booking of Colm O'Donoghue has been significant in recent weeks. Ger Lyons is another whose first season horses are going well and LETHAL STEPS is another bred to do the business as a two-year-old. The ground should not be a concern and a Group One entry later in the year suggests he has shown something at home.
  1. Lethal Steps
  2. Battle Of Jericho
  3. Mattymolls Gaga
