Forecasts

Vhagar (11/8), Cedars Of Lebanon (5/2), Gold Jasmine (4/1), An Aingeal Dubh (13/2), Man Of The Sea (33/1), Rosselini (33/1)

Verdict

CEDARS OF LEBANON pulled well clear of the others when beating Syrena at Bellewstown, and she is weighted to score again in this claimer. Vhagar will appreciated the return to seven furlongs, and makes a bit more appeal than An Aingeal Dubh for minor honours.
  1. Cedars Of Lebanon
  2. Vhagar
  3. An Aingeal Dubh
