Forecasts

Hallmark (4/1), Tarazani (4/1), Reaver (11/2), Bridge Native (11/2), Pass Hymn (8/1), Teqany (10/1), Clementina (11/1), Maighnealta (14/1), Constable Buckley (14/1), Abraham (18/1), Sillogue Pio (20/1), Oromo (25/1)

Verdict

TARAZANI has some quirks but he's run well twice on the Flat of late and his Clonmel second in May over timber would put him right in the mix for this prize. He gets the vote, just ahead of Reaver, who was placed in a maiden at that same Tipperary track on Thursday and is turned out quickly again for handicap bow. Clementina showed improved form at Galway and needs a look here as a result while Hallmark may be capable of better than we've seen so far.
