Forecasts

Nikeandnemesis (13/2), I Remember You (7/1), Sunblessed (7/1), Commodus (7/1), Leagan Gaeilge (7/1), Winiata (7/1), Vallambrosa (7/1), My Laureate (8/1), Only The Brave (10/1), Laura Bullion (10/1), Lady Marengo (25/1)

Verdict

Leagan Gaeilge made a winning start on very testing ground at Gowran Park recently and needs respecting here, though this opening handicap mark isn’t going to be straightforward. Sunblessed produced an improved effort at Naas last weekend (second) but must defy a 9lb hike to go one better now. At the prices it might pay to side with Johnny Murtagh's Limerick maiden scorer WINIATA, who looks likely to have further progress. Vallambrosa could go well now her sights have been lowered.
  1. Winiata
  2. Leagan Gaeilge
  3. Vallambrosa
