Forecasts

Pure Action (5/4), Smugglers Creek (4/1), Presidential (7/1), Peace Officer (8/1), Dandy Rock (8/1), Boy Charlton (12/1), Vanderbilt (16/1), Dance Along (16/1), Blue Skimmer (20/1), De La Vega (28/1), Island Song (33/1), Mel Biechif Diane (50/1), Atlantic Jet (50/1), Queen Meave (66/1), Tale Of Fame (66/1), Sobistabo (100/1), Qubtaan (100/1)

Verdict

Pure Action just about sets the standard for this maiden and must be taken seriously having gone very close on turf at Cork recently over a furlong shorter. However, DANDY ROCK has knocked on the door at this venue in the past and was beaten ½L over 7f a month ago, the fitting of first-time cheekpieces might see him over the line this time. Smugglers Creek can improve from his Curragh debut and get involved with the champion jockey taking over while De La Vega and Vanderbilt would be in with a chance if putting forward their best efforts.
