Forecasts

Beckford (15/8), Buffer Zone (7/2), Woody Creek (7/1), Servalan (7/1), Southern Horse (7/1), Gordon Lord Byron (11/1), Gustavus Weston (16/1), San Andreas (18/1), Angelic Light (25/1)

Verdict

Three-year-old fillies WOODY CREEK and Servalan had a terrific tussle at Naas last time out and although on that occasion Jessica Harrington's filly triumphed it is the Fozzy Stack filly Woody Creek who gets the vote today on the basis of her superior course form. In what is a very competitive race it would be no surprise whatsoever if Buffer Zone makes the transition from top-handicapper to group horse as many have done before him over sprint trips.
  1. Woody Creek
