Forecasts

Fleeting (2/1), Search For A Song (2/1), Latrobe (11/2), Leo De Fury (6/1), Numerian (9/1), Guaranteed (22/1), Maria Christina (150/1), Persian Lion (400/1), Effernock Fizz (400/1)

Verdict

Fleeting is a key contender for Ballydoyle and boasts some smart form last season. She doesn't have Star Catcher to contend with this evening and is greatly feared, but it's also true to say she doesn't win as often as might be desired. Dermot Weld is two-handed and it looks as though Maria Christina is a potential pacemaker for Irish St Leger winner SEARCH FOR A SONG. That was a career-best effort, with the likes of Latrobe behind, and while she might want further, Oisin Orr's mount boasts good form at this trip and her stablemate should ensure a stamina test ensues. The aforementioned Latrobe has place claims while stablemate Numerian and Leo De Fury are potential improvers.
