Forecasts

Verdict

The vote goes to MIDLAND MILLIE, who looked unlucky not to win at Clonmel when last seen in February and is only 2 lb higher here. Wadiyatink Now has a lengthy absence to overcome but is still unexposed and has joined a yard that does well with new recruits, so needs taking seriously, especially if supported in the betting. Westernerona is another to consider.

  1. MIDLAND MILLIE (IRE)
  2. WADIYATINK NOW (IRE)
  3. WESTERNERONA (IRE)
