Forecasts

Flat To The Max (6/4), Zayriyan (13/8), Valdus (11/2), Rathbride Prince (8/1), Tomwontlisten (16/1), Johnny Carney (25/1), Torthai An Ghra (33/1), Safaruk (33/1), The Bittern Cry (33/1), Danville Girl (50/1)

Verdict

Zayriyan made a decent debut recently at Naas for Dermot Weld and must be respected with improvement likely. The suspicion is that he'll be seen to best effect over a longer trip in time and so the newcomer FLAT TO THE MAX is given the nod here for Ger Lyons. He has the champion jockey up and doesn't have to aim too high in pursuing this. Fellow newcomer Rathbride Prince and potential improver The Bittern Cry are others worth paying attention to.
  1. Flat To The Max
  2. The Bittern Cry
  3. Zayriyan
