Forecasts

Verdict

It is difficult to write any of these runners off with the majority having just won maidens. In such races it often pays to follow the all-conquering Mullins-Walsh combination and there HEY LITTLE BOY looked potentially smart at Tramore in his lone start so he gets the nod. Joseph O'Brien runs four here and jockey bookings suggest Mischievous Max is toward the top of the pecking order. He bumped into a smart Mullins horse last time but will be hoping lightning doesn't strike twice. Just Janice has an edge in experience and is very consistent, she should be thereabouts once more.
  1. Hey Little Boy
  2. Mischievious Max
  3. Just Janice
