Forecasts

Armory (13/8), Leo De Fury (9/4), Sinawann (18/5), Numerian (8/1), Degraves (10/1), Rakan (10/1), Helvic Dream (12/1)

Verdict

LEO DE FURY was marginally behind Armory in the Tattersalls Gold Cup over C&D last time but is fancied to reverse the form with an emphatic success over C&D on reappearance still quite fresh in the mind. The others all have something to find but a creditable run is more than likely from the consistent Numerian.

  1. LEO DE FURY (IRE)
  2. ARMORY (IRE)
  3. NUMERIAN (IRE)
