Forecasts

Artistic Melody (5/2), Birds Of Prey (3/1), Breeze (3/1), Aasheq (6/1), Sometimes A Fox (10/1), Desert Dancer (14/1), Intense Stylist (28/1), Clementina (50/1), Frozen Moon (66/1), Kelter's Dawn (100/1), An Fia Francesca (100/1), The Greedy Yank (100/1)

Verdict

Birds Of Prey chased subsequent Derby winner Wings of Eagles home over C&D last August and should be fit after a recent reappearance run. He could prove up to this while Breeze has gone close over this trip already and will be suited having tackled 1m2f last time out. Aasheq and Artistic Melody have their merit but SOMETIMES A FOX get the nod. He was second over this trip at Dundalk on his sole start in December, making a decent challenge in the final three-furlongs, and can have a go at this on his reappearance.
  1. Sometimes A Fox
  2. Birds Of Prey
  3. Artistic Melody
