Forecasts

Taggalo (13/8), Half Nutz (5/2), Lady Alcazar (11/4), Not Now Zeb (17/2), Mogwli (10/1), Glow Worm (18/1), Quick Quick (18/1), Law Breaker (40/1), Shabra's O B (50/1), Secret Sacrament (66/1), Wish You Well (100/1)

Verdict

Half Nutz looks likely to be one of the leading contenders here after scoring with a bit in hand last time at Limerick, but another 9lb rise will ask serious questions. He may be vulnerable to the likes of Taggalo and LADY ALCAZAR, and the latter is suggested. Although a maiden, she did everything but win at Sligo and remains on an upward trajectory. Glow Worm and Not Now Zeb are not written off.
  1. Lady Alcazar
  2. Taggalo
  3. Half Nutz
