Forecasts

Fred The Foot (2/1), Biddy The Boss (7/2), Na Trachtalai Abu (4/1), The Ballyboys (8/1), Yeats Mardy (10/1), Double Windsor (11/1), Stonehall Jack (14/1), My Betty (20/1), Thekingofconnemara (25/1), Weather Watch (25/1), All Good Things (33/1), Golanbrook (40/1), Rock On Bach (50/1)

Verdict

The Scorpion gelding, FRED THE FOOT looks a typical improving sort with age from the sire and the six-year-old can further his reputation here following a win in a 16-runner handicap at Down Royal last month. Distance winner, Biddy The Boss, the solid and consistent, Double Windsor and last time out beaten favourite, Na Trachtalai Abu are more than capable of grabbing a place.
  1. Fred The Foot
  2. Biddy The Boss
  3. Double Windsor
