Forecasts

Dinnie's Vinnie (9/4), Tb Broke Her (6/1), Mullaghmurphy Blue (13/2), Shanklys Dawn (8/1), Black Jewel (9/1), Tomcoole Lad (10/1), Ardmillan (12/1), Hurricane Sky (14/1), Admiral Bob (14/1), Diggin Deep (14/1), Gibbstown (16/1), Ard Cregg (20/1), Wilde 'n Wide (25/1)

Verdict

Quite a few of these are out of form and cannot be considered until showing signs of a revival. Shanklys Dawn ran better last time and is not out of it off bottom weight, while Mullaghmurphy Blue should do better stepped up in trip and fitted in a tongue tie for the first time. That said, both will do well to cope with TB BROKE HER if the extra distance suits her as expected.
  1. Tb Broke Her
  2. Mullaghmurphy Blue
  3. Shanklys Dawn
