Forecasts

Le Vagabond (2/1), Mr Picotee (5/1), The Birdie Crowe (5/1), Quamino (7/1), Mezajy (10/1), Nulife (11/1), Lady In Lavender (16/1), Touch Of Gold (20/1), Killiney Court (25/1), The King Of Brega (25/1), Alcander (25/1), Ronava (33/1), Weather Watch (50/1)

Verdict

A tough contest and you can make a case for several. Mr Picotee went close at Clonmel last week and the drop in trip looks a good move for him having won this race last year. Mezajy has been in good form of late and can be a force once again now back on better ground. Any kind of market support for Alcander would be interesting and should be noted. Slight preference is for LADY IN LAVENDER who will appreciate this step back in trip and can get back to winning ways off a fair mark.
  1. Lady In Lavender
  2. Mezajy
  3. Mr Picotee
